2017-2018HONOR ROLL OF DONORS

As we approach the Christmas season, we have much to be grateful for. The Benedictine community has continued to show incredible generosity to both St. Andrew Abbey and Benedictine High School, providing the resources to serve students and families in the Greater Cleveland area. The growing support provided by the individuals, families, foundations, and corporations listed within our Annual Report has allowed us to continue our mission together to develop young men in mind, body, and spirit, and to preserve the defining characteristic of the Benedictines: “Ora et Labora.”

Just as donations have increased, so have the opportunities for the monks of the abbey and our young men at the high school. The unwavering commitment from our donors has provided our students the chance to visit and learn at off-campus locations, such as hospitals in the University Circle area, and even at NASA through our new College Ready - Career Bound curriculum. In addition, our benefactors have given several of our monks the ability to further their education with the intent of joining the staff at Benedictine.

As a valued member of our community, we invite you to attend both our annual Blue & White Gala on Saturday, March 23, 2019 and our Abbey Benefit on Sunday, September 22, 2019. These events successfully demonstrate the spirit of Benedictine High School and St. Andrew Abbey, and we look forward to having you join us!

Please enjoy this special edition of our magazine as we look to recognize the members of the Benedictine community who have given our monks and students opportunities that would otherwise be unreachable. We are blessed for all those who have supported our mission with a financial gift last year, and thank each of you for your consideration to renew or increase your gift this year. As always, do not hesitate to contact us to see how you can become more involved at Benedictine High School and St. Andrew Abbey. We look forward to your campus visit!

Together, we thank you for all that you do.

Yours in Benedictine,

Abbot Gary Hoover, OSB ’74 Dr. Frank Bossu ’67 Abbot / Chancellor President

“I invest in Benedictine because I strongly believe in its vision and I see the commitment and progress the faculty, administration, students, and alumni make toward that vision. To this day, I find myself benefiting from my Benedictine education and friendships. I believe my ongoing investment in Benedictine will be used wisely to yield great returns for future generations of Men of Benedictine.”

The accolades continued in his freshman season as a Bengal when he won the Max Preps player of the week for Ohio and helped lead the team to its third consecutive North Coast League White Division title.

Cora was a little worried about his size playing as a freshman against high school upperclassmen but realized early in the season size doesn’t matter. His speed more than compensates for his 5’8”, 140-pound frame. Not only did he lead the Bengals in scoring but he led northeast Ohio, scoring 37 goals and contributing 17 assists. He also contributed to the freshman football program’s 9-1 record, which may well have been a perfect season considering the game he missed, due to a soccer conflict, was the only loss, 14-12, for the Baby Bengals.

His personal goal is to break the school record for goals. Along the way, “I hope to play for the best Benedictine soccer team the school has ever had.” This year’s team can argue for that title having finished 13-5 overall, 4-0 NCL. Next year’s team has a shot too, since his older brother, Anthony, will still be at Benedictine as a senior. “It is a real honor that The News Herald named us the best brother combination in the area.”

“While at Benedictine, I created ever-lasting bonds with men that will forever be my brothers and Men of Benedictine. I give back because I want future Bengals to know that Benedictine is not just a place where you can enrich your academia but also a place where you can grow your potential and learn about how you can engage in the real world. Giving students the same opportunities I was afforded begins with the generosity from alumni like me and getting others to see the importance of giving back.”

– David Jurcisin ’12

Look Up To Cleveland

Look Up To Cleveland is a seven-month experience that connects high school students to Cleveland and the people, places and projects moving it forward. They develop leadership skills and see first-hand how they can contribute to their community. Students develop an appreciation and heightened civic awareness of the local community landscape through interaction with business, government and community leaders, and experiential tours of some of Cleveland’s most treasured landmarks. This year’s Look Up to Cleveland Benedictine representatives are juniors Steven Zachlin and Matthew Stauffer.

“The Benedictine experience continues to give me an opportunity to be an active part of something greater than I am. My wife, Anne, and I are glad to contribute to Benedictine as it honors my parents, who during their lives, gave to others who had less than us. It also honors my brothers: Rich ’57, Jerry ’50, and Father Tom ’47. Our philanthropic gifts also honor the next generations who represent the future: the Men of Benedictine. I urge all associated with Benedictine High School and St. Andrew Abbey to give back and support as a way to ‘pay back’ for God’s many blessings.”

“I am very proud to be an alumnus of Benedictine High School. I am very grateful for the energy, work, and commitment the monks and staff of the high school have given to all its students. Every day, I benefit from the education and guidance I received at Benedictine. That commitment and work continues today, leading young men into adulthood with the tools to succeed in their career choices, their relationships, and their faith. I will continue to invest, to give back, to the Benedictine tradition that will continue to grow young students into Men of Benedictine. I believe in the future of Benedictine, and as a proud alumnus I will continue to enthusiastically support its mission and vision.”

Honor Roll of Donors 2017-2018IN MEMORY

In Memoriam of Benedictine High School and friends of Saint Andrew AbbeyJerry Grabowski ’66, the father of Justin ’98 and Megan, passed away on August 14th, 2018. Jerry’s dedication and love of Benedictine High School was unquestioned. He spent decades as a volunteer to support the mission of BHS. Jerry was always willing to lend a hand in working behind the scenes. He ran the Bengal Winter CYO Basketball Classic and helped the football program with filming and scouting. After graduation in 1966, Jerry attended Cleveland State University where he earned an accounting degree. In 1970, he began his career as a CPA in New York City and four years later he was transferred to the Cleveland office. Ten years after being back in Ohio, Jerry became the CFO of the Cleveland Cavaliers. He eventually left the sports and entertainment world to help found Family Heritage Life Insurance Company in 1989. Jerry later partnered with his son Justin ’98 as owners of Playmakers Sports Bar and Grill in Parma, OH.

Dear Alumni and Friends of Benedictine,As you read through the Annual Report, you see that Benedictine is growing! The support and participation by you, our alumni and friends, is so graciously appreciated. We value your generosity towards our mission. Throughout the report, images and success stories highlight your investment – we thank you for giving our students the opportunity to develop in mind, body, and spirit to become the future leader of their family, businesses, and communities. Additionally, your gifts to the monks and St. Andrew Abbey allow for our 24 monks and 3 novices to continue God’s work.

Just as you provide support now to our students and monks, please also consider the additional ways listed below for future gifts. Most of the planned gift vehicles available can provide cost-saving benefits to you, as well as a meaningful gift to the students and the monks of Benedictine High School and Saint Andrew Abbey. For additional information on any of the items below, please contact Chris Lorber, Vice President of Advancement at 216-421-2080 ext 246 or [email protected].

GIFTS OF CASHCash contributions may be made by check, money order or credit card through one gift or installments. If you or your spouse work for a company that matches gifts to secondary schools, your contributions can have double the impact. Your human resource offices typically can provide you information on match opportunities.

GIFTS OF SECURITIES These can have advantageous tax benefits. Appreciated securities contribution values are determined by the average fair market value of the stock on the date the gift is transferred, provided the securities were owned for more than one year. Additionally the donor incurs no capital gains tax on direct transfer of securities to Benedictine. Consult your tax advisor for more information.

GIFTS OF REAL ESTATEGifts of real estate may provide a convenient way to support the school. Such gifts may be contributed outright as a deferred gift; here the donor can gift their home while retaining life tenancy. Note that some gifts of property may require approval of the Benedictine Gift Acceptance Committee, and the donor will be asked to provide a qualified appraisal for property gifts valued at $5,000 or more plus a Phase 1 environmental survey for gifts of real estate, both at the donor’s expense.

PLANNED GIVINGMany of the planned giving opportunities available to donors are listed below. Planned gifts are usually larger and made during a donor’s lifetime, or estate contributions that donors may make through wills, trusts, gift annuities, insurance policies or gift arrangements.

• Bequests • Charitable Gift Annuities• Charitable Remainder Trusts (either

Unitrusts or Annuity Trusts)

• Charitable Lead Trusts• Marketable Securities• Gifts of Property• Real Estate

• Intangible Personal Property• Life Insurance• Gifts of Will

Thank you for all of your support and consideration of a gift this Christmas season.

Yours in St. Benedict,

Mr. Christopher LorberVice-President of Advancement
