Elyria Catholic Panther Fund (Annual Fund)

Your contribution to the Panther Fund helps every student, every day, every way! Unrestricted support allows Elyria Catholic the flexibility to direct funds to the areas of greatest need and highest priority, including curricular, co-curricular, campus ministry, and athletic programs. Because of you, students receive an education and experience that is distinctly Elyria Catholic.

LEAD THE EFFORT! The President’s Society, Leadership Society, and Our Lady of Grace Society are comprised of lead benefactors to Elyria Catholic students. Membership is open to all individuals, companies, and foundations that make a gift annually by June 30th. Members receive an engraved brick in the Our Lady of Grace grotto with their first gift, an invitation to our annual President’s Reception, a pass for two to all home athletic and performing arts events for the current school year (during Non-COVID years), and appropriate recognition in the Panther Prowl.
