La Salle in Milwaukie
Recipient of Major Donor Gift
A $2.5 million gift from Mark and Pam Donegan, the largest in the history of La Salle Catholic College Preparatory in Milwaukie, Oregon, will ensure that students of any financial means will have access to an excellent Lasallian education. By establishing the Donegan Family Scholarship Fund, the Donegans have shown their support of the school's mission to provide an opportunity to students who otherwise might have been unable to attend La Salle. Proceeds from the philanthropic investment will target La Salle’s San Miguel Scholars, students with incomes at or below the federal poverty level.
The Donegan's gift is part of an on-going tradition of support to La Salle Catholic College Preparatory. "Mark and Pam have demonstrated their commitment to providing opportunities to students with limitless potential who come from modest financial means, through their partnership with La Salle Prep over the past decade," noted school President Denise L. Jones. "Their authentic interest in each student and commitment to not only students' academic success but their personal development is incredible to witness. I am amazed at their generosity and modesty. It has always been about the kids for them." |
