Bears Care Announces Commitment of $300,000 to St. Thomas School
 Friday, June 6: Bears linebacker Lance Briggs will join Chairman of the Board Michael McCaskey at St. Thomas the Apostle School on Friday, June 6 at 10:30 a.m. for the school’s end-of-the-year Awards Ceremony.
Prior to the ceremony, Briggs and McCaskey will announce Bears Care’s new three-year relationship with St. Thomas the Apostle School, via the Big Shoulders Fund’s Patrons Program, and present a check in the amount of $300,000. Through the Big Shoulders Fund’s innovative Patrons Program, Bears Care will serve as the Patron of St. Thomas the Apostle School for the 2008-2009, 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 school years.
Now in its sixth year of existence, the Big Shoulders Fund’s Patrons Program has made substantial progress in positively affecting the quality of education available in Chicago’s inner city. The funding from Bears Care will enable St. Thomas the Apostle to focus more resources on essential academic areas, primarily science and math curriculum and programming.
In addition, a newly-formed Patron Advisory Board will work with the school’s leadership to create a three-year business strategy that identifies, prioritizes and addresses St. Thomas the Apostle’s challenges, opportunities and road to success. |
