Elyria Catholic Panther 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.
