Building Minds Scholarship Fund Gala Chairs Spotlight: Renee & Mike Minogue
March 14th, 2024
This year, the Catholic Schools Foundation is thrilled to have Renee, CSF Trustee, and Mike Minogue, President & CEO of Minogue Consulting, LLC, and Retired Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Abiomed, as event chairs of the 34th Annual Building Minds Scholarship Fund Gala. Renee and Mike are dedicated supporters of CSF and our mission to transform the lives of in-need students across Greater Boston.
1. Why did you decide to get involved with CSF?
Peter Lynch introduced us to Catholic Schools Foundation and we were instantly drawn to the mission and its transformative impact on communities. We deeply appreciate how CSF champions Catholic schools and the children they serve. We recognize the mutual benefits: schools thrive with increased enrollment while students and families gain access to a faith-based education that nurtures their spiritual and academic growth.
2. Why is CSF's mission important to you?
Cardinal Sean O'Malley recently commented, "No institution has been as effective in elevating people from poverty to the middle class as Catholic schools." This reinforces our belief in the transformative power of faith based learning. Our foundation’s mission is aligned with CSF’s dedication to expanding access to faith based schools for children.
3. Why do you think people should consider getting involved with CSF?
The Catholic Schools Foundation has an incredibly professional and dedicated team who lead with integrity and honor and a steadfast commitment to the students they support. Their dedication to fiscal responsibility is commendable, and it is particularly admirable that nearly every dollar raised goes directly to student scholarships.
4. What is your favorite thing about CSF’s Annual Gala?
The Gala is a blast! We love meeting so many wonderful students, hearing from the CSF leadership and reconnecting with friends. We encourage everyone to reserve a table and invite some friends; you will not be disappointed.
