Dear Friends:

As Ave Maria celebrates its 65th Anniversary, this year we have a FAMILY CHALLENGE to our Annual Fund. Ave Maria has two families who will MATCH YOUR GIFT, dollar for dollar up to $50,000.00, if given by December 31st. Many of you have been very generous over the course of these difficult years. As we have continued to fight COVID-19, our expenses have continued to increase. We did not know we would still be fighting not only a virus, but now the challenge of finding qualified staff to care for our elders.

Your support DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE. Help Ave Maria meet its challenge. Our elders have worked and planned their entire lives to have a secure financial future. Life’s changing circumstances have affected their savings and now their mental health. Our staff continues to do their very best to keep our elders active and positive during these difficult times.

 

Annual Fund at a Glance:

Over the past two years, your financial gift has:

• Supplemented 10 elders to remain at Ave Maria.
