Bellarmine’s soccer program is currently ranked third in the nation by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. Dear Friends of the Fulcrum Foundation, “Together toward the goal” he theme of this year’s report is both a cheer and a challenge - to strive toward the loft y goal of providing a Tquality Catholic education in western Washington for all children who want one. We accept the challenge, full of hope, because working together we believe we can accomplish that goal. On this page and the ones that follow ribbons fl ow across each section in a symbolic display of the Fulcrum Foundation achieving its goals in support of Catholic schools. Also featured in this report are groups from each of the nine Catholic high schools that have inspired and challenged us by working together to achieve a goal. Th ey have excelled by demonstrating more than just an achievement. Th ey show us the true compassion and character that come from a Catholic education and they have strengthened our belief that in supporting Catholic schools our contributions will have a lasting impact for generations to come. A leading goal for the Fulcrum Foundation is the Embracing Our Legacy Capital Campaign, which will wrap up in December, 2008. We are pleased to announce the campaign is reaching its goal of $40,000,000, thanks to several generous bequests and the contributions of over 2,600 donors. Th e success of the campaign is an important part of our plan, and we are grateful to everyone who participated. As this report will show, over 910 children received tuition assistance grants of $750 each; some received additional assistance through special programs supported by the Jim and Margie Rose and Mick and Marnie Schreck families. Twenty-one schools received assistance to meet extraordinary claims on their budgets, and fourteen teachers were awarded Fulcrum grants to develop creative ideas for their classes. Th is year’s Celebration of Light was an extraordinary success, raising over $1,000,000 for the fi rst time in Fulcrum’s short history. Businesses like the Witt Company and Offi ceMax are partnering with Fulcrum to er off their products at reduced rates to Catholic schools. Young people are off ering their support through the “Amici” program. Led by Archbishop Brunett and a talented Board of Trustees, many people are striving “Together toward the goal.” On behalf of the students and schools that benefi t from your generosity, thank you for playing your part! Sincerely, Rev. Stephen C. Rowan Joe Womac Chair of the Board Executive Director 3 Fulcrum Foundation Annual Report 2008: Together toward the goal atholic schools provide a faith-based and Tuition Assistance Program Cvalue-rich education. Th ey also excel academically, as measured by Washington State’s assessment of student learning (WASL). No wonder many parents want a Catholic school education for their children! But a Catholic education may soon be out of reach for many families. Th e adjusted gross income of families who apply to Fulcrum for tuition assistance is approximately $22,000. Over 3,000 families apply for assistance each year. 2007 WASL Scores 4th grade Reading Math Writing One parent, a single mother, reports that “the Catholic education my Catholic Schools 89.1 75.1 76.9 daughter has received is such a rewarding experience” but “this next Public schools 76.4 57.9 60.1 Diff erence 12.7 17.2 16.8 year is going to be really diffi cult fi nancially for me.” Tuition assistance will help this mother and her daughter achieve the rewarding goal of a 7th grade Reading Math Writing Catholic Schools 86.8 78.1 90.2 Catholic education. Public schools 68.5 54.4 68.1 Diff erence 18.3 23.7 22.1 Last year, Fulcrum distributed scholarships of $750 to 910 students, an increase over past years, as shown in the graph on this page. Fulcrum’s plan is moving toward the goal of providing a meaningful level of assistance to all who need it. In FY 09, grants of tuition assistance will equal $850 for nearly 1,000 students. Each year, Fulcrum is giving hope to many more families. Th e gratitude of one parent speaks for many: “It is really hard to live on the edge, but because of the help that you’ve given us, my children can get a good edu- cation. Th ank you for your kindness.” Fulcrum’s tuition assistance programs help students to learn Distribution of Tuition Assistance by Ethnicity (2008) 49% 51% Ethnic Minority Caucasian Tuition Assistance Grants (1988 - 2008) $750 per Grant $700,000 $650 per Grant $600,000 $550 per Grant $500,000 $550 per Grant $550 per Grant $400,000 $500 per Grant $450 per Grant $300,000 $400 per Grant $200,000 $400 per Grant $100,000 Total Awarded Annually Awarded Total 1988 1991 1994 1997 2000 2003 2006 2007 2008 3 Archbishop Murphy High School – Football Team Th e Archbishop Murphy Wildcats ended their regular season undefeated with one goal in mind: win the state championship for their legendary coach, Terry Ennis, who died of cancer in mid-season. Yet, the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) disqualifi ed the team from the state football playoff s and eliminated all but two of the wins from their perfect season because of a clerical error. With no way to honor their coach on the fi eld, the players came together and dedicated themselves to changing the injunction so that no other team would lose an entire season for a minor error. In doing so, the team remembers coach Ennis’ instruction: “It’s not about what happened. It’s about what you do from this point forward.” Th e WIAA corrected the rule at its annual assembly this past spring. 54 Fulcrum Foundation Annual Report 2008: Together toward the goal y December of 2007, the people of Assistance to Schools in Need BChehalis had already lost the local Transalta mine and, with it, over 600 jobs. Th en came the fl ood, the loss of livestock, the closing of I-5, and disruptions of everyday life. Faced with these challenges, the people of St. Joseph’s parish and school in Chehalis provided a rallying point for rescue workers and a collection place for supplies. School teachers pitched in personally, going to homes that had been especially hard hit, shoveling mud away from doors, cleaning and painting damaged interiors, and in many ways helping their neighbors in need. 2008 Grant Recipients Christ the King School And when the waters went down, the school was open, a place where children Holy Family School - Auburn could be safe and learn what they would need for the future. Holy Family School - Lacey Holy Family School - Seatt le Churches and schools throughout western Washington responded with Holy Rosary School - Tacoma Immaculate Conception Regional School assistance. Fulcrum was there, too, providing more tuition assistance and Our Lady of Guadalupe School assistance to the school than had been requested before the fl ood. Our Lady of the Lake School Queen of Angels School St. Alphonsus School St. Joseph’s school, founded in 1923, is one of several Catholic schools that St. Bernadett e School provide the only Catholic education in their communities for many miles St. Cecilia School around. When emergencies arise, Fulcrum is there to help a school stay in the St. Edward School game and do what it does best. St. George School St. Joseph School - Chehalis St. Mary School Pastor and Fulcrum Board member Very Rev. David Mulholland refl ects the resilient St. Paul School spirit of his community when he reports that his people are keeping their eyes on the St. Pius X School St. Rose School goal: “Th e parishioners and families of St. Joseph’s school are more committ ed than St. Th erese School ever to provide quality Catholic education in Lewis County.” John F. Kennedy High School Besides St. Joseph school in Chehalis, Fulcrum assisted 20 other schools (listed above) in FY 2008. Assistance to schools in need grants help Catholic school communities Th e Chronicle, the local Chehalis newspaper, features St. Joseph students as they “Lend a Hand” at a Lewis County family 5 farm recovering fr om the December 2007 fl ood.

  • Damp Beginning Tot He Year. Late Yesterday and Through the Night a Heavy Rain, First in a While
    2 Jan. 1 92 - Spr~like, damp beginning tot he year. Late yesterday and through the night a heavy rain, first in a while. On the 31st we called Ann arrl Norm and arranged to meet them for lunch at the Lighthouse in La.conner an:i then hike afterward. The hike unluckily flopped, when we followed Ann ' s pencbant and guidebook for a dike walk at Colony Creek north of Bow--good in theory but trn dike was overgra-m with wild roses and blackberries an:i the more was slick rocks ; after about a quarter of a mile we gave up o Beautiful day, though, all mountains out in great clarity ani just enough clouds for decoration. C and I came home arrl had salmon for supper, arrl turned in at our usual (earl y) time; New Year ' s Eve is nothing we care to make an event of. Y 1day I did some year- erd financial totali~ , as I always need to do for my pension plan an"it-1ay, and found that we ' re now worth, in investnents alone , $1,114, 000. The surprise stock market rally of course has boomed the figure up, ard there are probably going to be same heart-lurching times this year as we try to invest, r eal ly to br oaden the stock holdings we now have. But both Carol am I had been chewing the insides of our mouths a bit about our mutually- agreed- upon decision for her to shift all her TIAA,1CREF holdings into bon:is, a few weeks before the stock market took off; it turm out , though, that the TIAA/CREF bond fwd also bas been going great guns, so at the moment there 's no r eal reason to sweat that decision.
