SACRAMENTO, Calif. (May 12, 2016) – Sacramento Republic FC have selected Cristo Rey High School as the second recipient of a grant from the Glory Glory Sacramento Fund. The grant to be awarded is in the amount of $20,000. Cristo Rey will be recognized at halftime of Republic FC’s match against Seattle Sounders FC 2 on Saturday, May 14.
“Cristo Rey High School is a great example of an organization that exemplifies the Glory Glory Sacramento pillars of education, youth leadership and wellness,” said Republic FC Executive Vice President and Co-Founder Joe Wagoner. “Cristo Rey succeeds at providing a positive learning environment for their students and gives them work experience to help prepare them for life beyond the classroom.”
Cristo Rey Sacramento is one of 30 schools across the country in the Cristo Rey Network, a program dedicated to providing at-risk youth with a college preparatory education. Unlike traditional private high schools, Cristo Rey is only open to students who demonstrate a significant financial need and although the school is based on Catholic teachings, students of all religious and ethnic backgrounds are welcome.
Of the students who attend Cristo Rey, 97 percent request financial aid. The school functions through a work-study program in order to fund 60 percent of the cost of a student’s education, pairing each student with one of 90 local businesses that serve as partners to the school. Each student is assigned to work one day per week for businesses ranging from local corporations to nonprofits.
The Glory Glory Sacramento Fund was created to celebrate and elevate nonprofits that share the same indomitable spirit as our region and provides individual grants up to $20,000. Sacramento-region nonprofits that support education, health/wellness or youth leadership may apply.
Republic FC will select grant recipients prior to each of their remaining home matches as a part of the Glory Glory Sacramento Fund. Grant applications will be accepted until Sunday, May 15.
Sacramento region nonprofits may apply for a grant from the Glory Glory Sacramento Fund at www.sacrepublicfc.com/community/glory-glory-sacramento.
Republic FC fans and the public are encouraged to help match the club’s donation by making their own tax-deductible donation to Cristo Rey High School by visiting www.sacrepublicfc.com.
