EXPLORER - La Salle College High School

5 Explorer Fall 2009
Al Gabriele continues to work tirelessly with the
Office of Institutional Advancement and the Capital
Campaign Committee to stay focused on the vision
and the task at hand.
With very little corporate or foundation money
available, the remaining efforts will rely heavily on
contributions from alumni, parents, and other friends
of the school.
Faced with the task of raising an additional $5 million,
Al has expanded the campaign cabinet to include
a number of individuals who will play a key role in
identifying parents, classmates, and other alumni
who represent a new pool of potential donors. Al will
focus on major prospects and contributions, while the
campaign cabinet will be charged with the solicitation
of new donors as well as act as ambassadors for the
campaign within the La Salle Community.
The campaign will begin the solicitation of all alumni,
parents, past parents, friends of La Salle, foundations,
and those people and parties whose philanthropic
interests include a quality education. By waiting until
80% of the campaign goal has already been reached,
the campaign cabinet can solicit from a position of
strength. In addition, the new fields and buildings
provide recognition for both the campaign and the
strategic plan and allow the La Salle Community to
see the objectives that have already been achieved.
An appeal to the entire La Salle community has begun
and the campaign cabinet is confident that the “
La Salle Faithful” will rise in support of these initiatives
and continue to “fulfill its promise” to the school’s
mission and vision.
achievements of the campaign is that the $20 million
has been raised
from only two hundred gifts.
The Capital Campaign Cabinet has begun to target
various classes in an effort to organize class gifts.
Individuals who would be interested in contributing to
a class gift, soliciting gifts from classmates, or assisting
in organizing their class, should contact the Office of
Institutional Advancement at (215) 223-2350. Additional
information on Fulfilling The Promise can be
