Just as each child is unique, each child experiences success in his or her own way. Our calling as a community of parents, educators, and supporters, is to celebrate their successes every step of the way.
Once a year we come together for a special event that unites our community to support our JB kids. The Celebrate Gala raises funds that directly benefit our students’ JB experiences. Proceeds are used to support tuition assistance for students, ongoing professional development for faculty and staff, and learning environments that help our students succeed.
We are grateful to gathered together at JB Lyndhurst for our 2023 Celebrate Gala. Thank you to our incredible community who showed up to support our kids in big ways. In total, this event raised over $380,000 for the families of Julie Billiart Schools. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
If you weren’t able to join us but would still like to contribute, you can do so, here. Please stay tuned for more details about the 2024 Gala, which we hope will involve more handshakes, hugs, and time to come together as a JB family. This event is continuously improving and changing form to better suit our generous donors. You’ll love the exciting changes and incredible packages that we’ll roll out soon.
Our 2023 Award Recipients and Honorees
The Spirit of St. Julie Award stands as one of the highest honors we bestow in our Julie Billiart Schools family. In word and symbol, it represents the founding vision and dedicated leadership of the Sisters of Notre Dame, who through abiding faith, selfless leadership, outstanding service, and unwavering commitment to the truth, have inspired generations of Julie Billiart Schools’ alumni, parents, and friends. For this, Julie Billiart Schools is delighted to honor Ann and David Brennan as the 2023 recipients of the Spirit of St. Julie Award.
For years Ann and David have supported Julie Billiart Schools. They have attended galas, sat on committees, and are responsible for bringing our Akron campus to fruition. They have offered unwavering support of the programs and the children of JB Schools. Their belief in and commitment to education, particularly the JB education, has not gone unnoticed. It is for these reasons that we were thrilled to award them the 2023 Spirit of St. Julie Award. Thank you, Ann and David, for your unwavering support of all that we do. We are so grateful.
