Friends of Shawe and Pope John Schools, Inc.

Friends of Shawe and Pope John Schools, Inc. As a 501(c)(3) supporting organization of Prince of Peace Catholic Schools, donations to Friends are tax-exempt.

Friends of Shawe and Pope John Schools was founded in 1986 with the purpose of providing financial support for educational programs and faculty enrichment at Shawe Memorial Junior-Senior High School and Pope John XXIII Elementary. In 1986, a small group of dedicated men and women in our local community organized Friends of Shawe and Pope John with a vision of providing long-term financial support

to our Catholic schools. From an initial capital campaign of $500,000 to establish Friends, to our more recent Friends for the Future drive that successfully raised $2.5 million, Friends has carefully invested your donations to provide funds that make yearly grants to each school and their teachers. In recent years, Friends has both increased the invested endowment to over $4 million and provided for immediate needs at both schools in the library, technology and tuition assistance. Friends strives to cultivate its donor base to continue generous gifts to the unrestricted fund in our endowment and encourages planned giving as a way to support our schools into the future.

"The money given to the Band of Gold by Friends helps our bottom line tremendously. Without these funds, we would not be able to function at the high level that we are now known for." - Band Director Bill Gordon

The Shawe Memorial Band of Gold is one powerful example of the impact of Friends of Shawe and Pope John. Year after year, Friends provides critical funding that helps the band purchase equipment, build memorable sets, and travel to competitions. The Band of Gold is just one of many programs at Shawe and Pope John that benefit from Friends' support—your legacy can open so many doors and create countless opportunities for students. Please know this step is optional and that this resource is free to use, no matter what.

Today, I invite you to explore this free will-writing tool to protect your loved ones, steward your blessings, and make a lasting impact for our students.

Knowledge, values, and faith are among the most enduring gifts we can pass to the next generation. For decades, Friends of Shawe and Pope John has made those gifts possible, funding scholarships, teacher supplies, and classroom updates at our Prince of Peace Catholic Schools.

August is Make-A-Will Month, and we want to share something useful. With FreeWill, you can write a legal will online in about 20 minutes, at no cost. Putting your affairs in order is an act of faithful stewardship and a way to care for the people you love.

That stewardship can support Catholic education for generations to come. A gift to Friends of Shawe and Pope John in your will helps grow the endowment that continues to provide tuition assistance, technology, and academic excellence at both schools, forever perpetuating this mission. Start your will today!
