JOIN US THIS WEEK FOR PHILANTHROPY WEEK!
Help Us Reach Our Philanthropy Week Goal Tomorrow!
All week long, we have been highlighting philanthropy’s important role at Brebeuf Jesuit. Tomorrow, we celebrate the greatest day of Philanthropy Week, Giving Day—the day to make your gift to Brebeuf Jesuit!
Tomorrow, we celebrate our rich tradition of educating men and women for others and the important role philanthropy plays in bringing that tradition to life.
For 59 years, Brebeuf Jesuit has provided an opportunity for a formative, Jesuit education to the Indianapolis community. This opportunity is made possible only by the support of our community through The Brebeuf Fund.
Every gift to The Brebeuf Fund ensures we are able to remain true to the mission of Brebeuf and the principles of St. Ignatius, educating all of our gifted and capable students regardless of financial circumstance. This Giving Day, please join us as we continue our important work in forming Braves who will carry the torch of St. Ignatius. Let us celebrate this special community that has demonstrated the respect and understanding necessary to drive our new year, to care for one another in remarkable ways, and to show what it means to be for others.
Help us reach our goal of 250 donors celebrating Giving Day by making your gift to The Brebeuf Fund at brebeuf.org/brebeufgives! Gifts received now until October 1 will be counted towards our #BrebeufGives Philanthropy Week totals.
You can also celebrate Giving Day by telling the world why you give to the Brebeuf Jesuit community on social media with #BrebeufGives!

Celebrating Philanthropy with Dr. Ali Pylitt
“I realize now that when my parents steered me toward Brebeuf, it wasn’t just about going to a smaller school with smaller class sizes or the academic attention. It was about how I would develop. It was about who I would become. It was about me being my best person.”
Learn more about Dr. Ali Pylitt ‘11 and why she gives here.
Help us reach our goal of 250 donors! Celebrate Giving Day by making your gift to The Brebeuf Fund by visiting brebeuf.org/brebeufgives! Gifts received now until October 1 will be counted towards our #BrebeufGives Philanthropy Week totals.

SENIOR ANDREW PENCA WORKING TO HELP VETERANS
In the Marion County area, 17 veterans die by suicide every day. Eleven of these veterans are not connected to any veterans’ affairs organizations that provide extensive suicide prevention resources. In order to fight this current environment, it is important to reach out to all veterans and supply them with resources to have the help they need. This two question survey will be used to find veterans and pass on suicide prevention information to them. Regardless of their involvement, attitude, and portrayed emotions, they may need someone to speak to. If you know any veterans, please take this survey to help fight our community’s suicide issue.
