[qodef_blockquote text=”“We were thrilled to bring Toni on board to work directly with these schools. Toni has a unique perspective and understanding regarding the donors connected to this mission and the students we serve at the Archdiocesan Schools having been a student at Most Holy Trinity and Rosati-Kain, but also having been the Advancement Director for an Archdiocesan high school. This perspective and experience will allow Toni to establish and strengthen relationships with key donors and other friends and partners of the schools– ultimately creating more opportunities for our students.”” title_tag=”h6″ width=”75″]
