Parater Day Of Giving Advocate Toolkit

WelcomeAdvocates!

Thank you for supporting 2026 Parater Day of Giving!

This year’s campaign is inspired by Grease, a story about identity, unity, and everyone coming together to celebrate the community. Our mission? To raise $880,000 for Parater Middle-Income Scholarships.

With your help, we will show what the Benedictine community is made of—a dedication to increasing access, affordability and opportunity for high-quality Catholic education for all deserving students!

Please use the resources on this page to spread the word among your family, friends and fellow Benedictine and Saint Gertrude alumni and encourage them to give on or before February 6. #TwoSchoolsOneGoal #ParaterIsTheWord

Hi [Name],

Imagine a community where every aspiring qualified student has the chance to excel, develop as a leader and grow in their faith regardless of their financial background? The Parater Middle-Income Scholarship gives Benedictine Schools of Richmond students this chance, making it possible for more students to enter our doors than any other single form of tuition assistance.

Today is Parater Day of Giving, the day our entire Benedictine community joins together to help make this vision a reality. Last year, thanks to the generosity of so many, there were:
- 124 Parater Scholars (57 SGHS and 67 BCP), representing 22% of the total student body
Please join me in making a gift today to help make Catholic education affordable for middle-income families!

Thank you!
