Garco Scholarship Endowment

The Garco Scholarship Endowment Fund was established by the loyal support and generous contributions from alumni, Tim Welsh and Frank (Ginge) Etter. Tim and Ginge, founders and co-owners of Garco Construction, are both graduates from the St. Al’s Class of 1959. The annual earnings from this fund provide scholarships available to our families who qualify through our Fair Share program.

Robert Luger Endowment

Robert Luger, a 1956 graduate of St. Aloysius School, has been honored by his surviving family through the establishment of The Robert Luger Memorial Endowment Fund. The family initially and very generously contributed $100,000, with additional donations from the same family members and many other supporters over the years. The earnings from this fund are used to supplement the tuition pledges of Catholic families in need who desire a Catholic education for their children. The Endowment was founded by Robert Luger’s family including: John and Donna Luger, George and Kathleen Luger, Dan and Maryann (Luger) Montandon, Loretta Luger, and Therese Luger.

Mary Hare Endowment

John and Donna Luger also established an endowment to honor Donna’s mother, Mary Hare. The Mary Hare Endowment contributes another $30,000 from the Luger family to support the students of our school. The Luger Family (Robert, Mary Ann, John, along with his wife Donna Hare Luger), all attended St. Aloysius School in the late 1950s. With the establishment of these endowments, the Luger family is making a significant contribution to maintaining the future of our school. John Luger has recently been named a recipient of the prestigious Elizabeth Ann Seton Award for his dedicated work and support of Catholic education over many years. We are so grateful for their commitment to our school and students.
