Dear ##First Name##:
Sue
Seemani is like any incoming freshman at St. Teresa's Academy.
She's intelligent, motivated, service-minded and looking for
an opportunity to realize her full academic potential. Thanks
to the generous contributions of STA alumni, Sue has found
that opportunity.
This
spring, she was chosen the first student in STA's 140-year
history to be awarded a full tuition endowed scholarship, the
combined gift of 1956 alum Sheila Geddes and the Sisters of
St. Joseph of Carondelet.
Your gift
to the Expanding Universes endowment campaign will provide
more opportunities to more deserving young women like
Sue.
She was
born in Lusaka, Zambia, where she attended a private school
run by her grandmother. Six years ago, Sue moved to the United
States to join her mother who had already immigrated and
settled in Kansas City. In May, she graduated from St.
Elizabeth's grade school with top honors.
Students
like Sue epitomize the purpose of Expanding Universes: to
attract academically accelerated young women, maintain the
school's valuable diversity, and assist those students in
financial need.
So what
makes a contribution to the Expanding Universes endowment a
great complement to your annual STA gift? Simple. It
specifically helps students who would not otherwise have the
opportunities and experiences unique to STA. As alumni, only
you know what a gift that truly is.
Our goal
is to build the school's current endowment of $3 million to
$10 million by 2010. We'll get there only through the gracious
financial contributions - however large or small - from people
like you, who hold STA close to your heart.
You don't
have to be around Sue Seemani long before you know that
someday this special young woman will make us all very proud.
Please pave the way for others like her by donating today.
If
you have any questions regarding the endowment campaign,
please contact
STA's Director of Advancement, Kevin
Flattery, at 816-501-0023 or
