Please join us for Dowling Catholic's 41st Annual Golf Outing. Each summer more than 200 golfers come together to raise money for DCHS students through the Coppola Financial Aid Endowment. This fund was initiated in the early 1970s and continues to provide tuition assistance to students who may not otherwise be able to attend DCHS. Please email Holly Ackermann with questions or for sponsorship information. RSVP information to follow.
MATCHING CORPORATE GIFTS
Many employers sponsor a gift program by matching employee donations. This is an easy way to leverage your gift into a larger donation. To find out if your company participates, please visit our website. If your company is eligible, request a matching gift form from your employer and return the completed form and your gift to DCHS to the Advancement Office. We’ll take care of the rest!
