Ken Boe ’84 gratefully accepts an envelope containing a PAG donation from a Jesuit parent on Friday morning before the start of school as Rene Alvarez ’83 stands on the neutral ground with a “Thank You” sign. Boe and Alvarez are PAG tri-chairs, representing the senior and pre-freshmen classes, respectively.

A handful of leaders of the 2013-14 PAG drive were at Jesuit on Friday morning as parents dropped off their sons. A dozen or so parents also had something else to drop off.

As the drive enters its final week before PAG Sunday on September 15, 2013, the leadership team anchored two prime locations so that parents could drop off their sons and easily turn in their pledges or donations for this important fundraiser. For the curbside pick-up task, the leadership team was stationed on the Banks Street neutral ground, directly across from the blue awning entrance to the school. The team also had the back gate covered as parents exited the yard onto Palmyra Street. Parents had been asked, if at all possible, to make their pledge (or donation) to the drive by today.

Thanks to all parents who have pledged or donated to the drive. As a reminder, all Jesuit parents, their sons, and the entire family are invited and encouraged to join the Blue Jay Community for Mass at 10 a.m. on PAG Sunday, September 15, 2013 in the Chapel of the North American Martyrs.
