CM SETS RECORD - THANK YOU !!

Thanks to all who helped Catholic Memorial this year in the Big Red Machine's march against breast cancer. This was the greatest turnout we have ever had, beating last year's totals by more than 125 walkers and $10,000 in donations.

Here are some of the 2008 results so far:
350 total walkers
298 students
23 faculty members
Several parents and families
Almost 40% participation school-wide
As of 10/6/08, we have raised $27,532.

CM is the largest participating school in both the number of walkers and the amount raised for all schools and colleges in MA. In total team gifts, CM ranks fourth of all Walk participants to date.

Although there are many to thank, a few deserve special recognition. First, Mrs. Leney and the Leney family for helping organize and plan the Walk, including the creation of www.CMwalks.org. Our new president, Mr. Paul Sheff, '62 announced the Walk and personally pledged $1 for every student that attended. This was followed by Mr. John Burke, class of 1962, who pledged $5 for every student that walked, and the familly of freshman Andrew Casserly, who also pledged $1 per student walker. Your motivation inspired the boys.

Thanks for making this the best year we have ever had.

Sincerely,

Brian T. Scott
