Nameless Donor Gives Catholic School Half Million

Saint Hubert Catholic High School for Girls in the Tacony section of Philadelphia is proud to announce a generous $500,000 commitment from an anonymous donor. This transformative gift will support the expansion of the school’s College and Career Counseling and Development Office, providing funding for new salaried positions over the next three years.

The donor has expressed a desire to make a meaningful impact on students’ college and career pathways. The gift builds on the momentum of the school’s “Healthcare Careers in 1-2-3” program, which has seen outstanding growth and impact, as well as an impressive $39 million in scholarships awarded annually to students.

Along with the upcoming launch of the Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) program in partnership with Holy Family University, this investment will help ensure students have additional resources to pursue their post-secondary goals. The funding will also support the addition of an Assistant Director of Advancement to strengthen the school’s Development Office and contribute to Saint Hubert’s continued growth.

Dr. Lizanne Pando, President of Saint Hubert Catholic High School for Girls, expressed her gratitude and excitement, “Saint Hubert is experiencing remarkable growth in both enrollment and donor engagement, thanks to our devoted donors and hardworking development team.”

“We are building something special together,” Pando continued, “for every Bambie who dreams of a bright future. With over 30,000 alumnae strong, we are a village lifting up young women of faith and integrity—and we will continue to rise together.”

This gift is part of the school’s “Educating Tomorrow’s Leaders TODAY!” campaign, which has raised over $5 million to date, including several historic contributions. The campaign has already resulted in the creation of the Connelly Arts and Design Center and is currently funding the construction of the Susan Muller Anderson ′68 Performing Arts Center.
