CV NEWS FEED // To fundraise for Catholic students in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, over 100 students, teachers, and supporters who are a part of the Catholic Education Foundation (CEF) will be participating in the LA Half-Marathon and other races later this week.
The CEF Racing Team has previously participated in the LA Marathon for five years in a row. The LA BIG5K, Los Angeles Marathon, the LA Kids Run, and the LA Charity Half Marathons will be taking place on March 16 and 17.
The CEF Racing Team will participate in these races to help fundraise “to make a Catholic education possible for more children throughout the Archdiocese of Los Angeles,” according to a press release:
This school year alone, Catholic Education Foundation (CEF) granted more than 10,000 tuition awards with a $13.1 million budget to students with financial need attending 220 of the 240 archdiocesan schools.
In addition, CEF has awarded an additional 3,900 newly enrolled students this school year with the New Enrollment Initiative (NEI 2.0) funded by an anonymous donor.
Founded in 1987, the CEF helps “provide tuition assistance to the most financially deserving students attending Catholic elementary and high schools in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles,” and has provided more than $242 million in assistance through more than 200,000 tuition awards.
In the first two and a half months of 2024, the CEF Racing Team has already raised nearly $40,000 of its $50,000 goal.
