We warmly invite you to an evening beneath the stars — in celebration of the Cristo Rey High School students who will receive the Evelyn Dunlap Scholarship Awards this September, and the hunger-relief recipients, including Second Harvest, carrying generosity to families in need.

What Generosity Has Built
