Creating a Lasting Legacy
By including the Christian Brothers of the Midwest in your long-term plans, you're creating a lasting legacy—for yourself and others. Your support ensures we continue nurturing young men and women with solid values, bringing them closer to Jesus, and instilling in them a desire to give back to their communities.
For over 340 years, the spirit of St. John Baptist de La Salle has driven us to continue his work. He saw Christ in marginalized children and recognized that faith-based education could transform their lives.
Education transforms us. It's a collaborative effort involving educators, families, communities, and all who share our passion for faith-based education. Our approach goes beyond textbooks—it's about building authentic relationships, instilling values, and inspiring wonder and love for creation. You can help us in shaping a brighter future.
The Importance of Your Generosity
Our work is strengthened by your generous heart. Your selflessness demonstrates the spirit of human generosity in a way that uplifts us all and changes the course of a young person's life. Your generosity matters more than just financially. It signifies a faith in humanity and a belief in the future, it changes the world.
You might believe that you cannot give, that you don't have the means. But you do know that life has meaning—your family, your life's work, the help you've provided for others. These things go well beyond finances. You've left the world a better place. We can help you work with the assets you have to perpetuate your legacy, help your loved ones, and expand the Lasallian mission.
