A Community That Cares

KabarA Challenge 2025
May 1 - June 30

A Community That Cares - The Cycle Comes Full Circle

At the heart of the Lasallian mission is a commitment to community, and that begins with the Christian Brothers - men who have dedicated their lives to educating and caring for young people. It continues as those same Brothers mentor new generations of students and lay partners, ensuring that the mission of St. John Baptist de La Salle lives on. Today, alumni and lay partners serve as devoted educators and leaders, carrying forward the values of faith, service, and community. Beginning May 1st - Religious Brothers Day - we honor the Brothers’ lifetime of humble service and ongoing impact.

And now, our community comes full circle, together, to care for them.

On this special day, we begin the 2025 KabarA Challenge, which runs until June 30. This day, as well as the weeks ahead, marks a wonderful opportunity for all of us to honor the legacy of our senior Brothers. These men who once stood at the front of our classrooms now rely on us to ensure they may retire with dignity, safety, and love in their later years.

We are deeply grateful for your continued generosity. Your gift sustains the very spirit of our Lasallian family. Remember too, that all single gifts up to $5,000 will be doubled, allowing us to provide more for our retiring Brothers.

Live Jesus in our hearts. Forever.

I am grateful for all who continue to support the KabarA Challenge, as I have personally benefitted from these funds. Between my heart surgeries, shoulder replacement surgery, and cataract surgery in both eyes, I understand firsthand how important the KabarA Challenge is for our senior Brothers. I see my experiences as a blessing. I am very intentional about my health because when I feel better, I can be more helpful and influential to others.”
