We believe that you have the right to know specifically what accomplishments your gift makes possible and that you have a choice in directing how those gifts are to be used. We hope that you welcome this opportunity to provide additional support.

Your investment in the Saint Edmond family is vital to keeping our programs excellent, successful and attractive.
There are various areas where you can choose to direct your gift:
