TONIGHT'S PADDLE RAISES
One of the most important parts of O'Hara's auction is our Raise the Paddle appeals. These appeals are a vital part of our fundraising efforts because they give our school the ability to maintain and upgrade various aspects of our operations. Our 2020 auction appeals will be: Capital Campaign and Scholarships. 

SCHOLARSHIP 
Last year, O'Hara granted over $200,000 in tuition assistance to families seeking a Catholic education for their children. It is our desire that no family should be denied the opportunity of an O'Hara education due to a lack of financial resources. The need for scholarship has doubled over the past five years, so your support is more important than ever. 

CAPITAL CAMPAIGN
Our Capital Campaign, A Proud Legacy. A Vision for the Future. ; marks years of planning, prayer, and hard work to develop a long-range vision for our school. Our building is in desperate need of renovations, we need your assistance. Tonight we are hoping to close the gap in our funding to complete our HVAC work for the elementary wing for Summer 2020.
