It is with great pride that we recognize the support that ensures Bishop O’Dowd<br />

High School remains strong, healthy and growing. We had a wonderful year, raising<br />

$3,184,960, of which $2,500,000 was given to the Transforming Lives Annual Fund,<br />

supporting those areas of greatest need. The O’Dowd community also increased the<br />

school’s endowment to $2,877,000 during the 2016-17 school year. Additionally, contributions<br />

enabled the school to provide renovations to its library as well as provide<br />

improved outdoor gathering spaces for students. These financial contributions were<br />

buttressed by the time and talent of dedicated O’Dowd volunteers for which the school<br />

is deeply appreciative.<br />

The ongoing success of O’Dowd, its programs, alumni and students, is a testament to<br />

the generous contributions and the continually growing participation by the O’Dowd<br />

community.<br />
