Welcome to the second Rey of Hope Gala – a celebration of our most generous donors and our fearless leader, Bill Garrett. Tonight is also a celebration of the 525 students we have the honor to serve every day. These extraordinary young people make us proud as they travel the city to work in their corporate jobs, and as their remarkable achievements in the classroom. Their youth brings energy, creativity and a fresh perspective to our 132 corporate jobs partners. This year’s senior class will graduate in May, joining the 237 alumni who have gone before them, and 100% of them have been accepted into college. Our graduates attend some of the country’s most prestigious colleges, and this year we have our first student heading to an Ivy League college in the fall. It is humbling to think of how far this school has come in just six years. It is safe to say that all that has been accomplished would not have been possible without the leadership of Bill Garrett and the support of everyone here tonight. We want to especially thank Janet & Jim Cumming, Mary & Bob Fink, and Jenny & Mike Messner, who are being honored this evening for their overwhelming generosity and for their faith in the mission of the school. Their early support was crucial to our success. We hope you enjoy the evening celebrating all that makes Cristo Rey Atlanta Jesuit such a magical place and please know how much we appreciate the part YOU have played in making it so.
