Dear AHA Community,

With a full heart and deep gratitude, I want to extend a sincere thank you for your overwhelming support of Starfest: An Evening of

Brilliance.

Because of you, the event was a resounding and record-setting success. Together, we raised over $430,000, including more than $175,000 specifically for student scholarships!

This year, we spoke about how the ‘brilliance’ of Holy Angels is found in the unique way our students and faculty respond to the world, turning pressure into grace and challenges into success. On Saturday night, your generosity provided a brilliant display of that very spirit.

One of the most moving highlights of the night was honoring our longtime Chaplain, Fr. Mike Tix, with the St. Joseph Award. We are thrilled to share that the newly established Fr. Mike Tix Scholarship was launched with over $125,000 in seed funding, which is separate from the money raised at Starfest, ensuring that his legacy and commitment to Catholic education will continue to open doors to endless opportunities for future Stars.

Whether you sponsored the event, donated an auction item, raised your paddle, made a donation, volunteered your time, or joined us in prayer and celebration, you played a vital role in this community effort. You proved once again that The AHA Way is alive and well, teaching our students to be part of the solution, to help themselves and others succeed, to communicate ‘you matter,’ and to honor the absent.

Your commitment ensures that more students can access an AHA education rooted in faith, academic excellence, and opportunity. Thank you for the support that allows our students' brilliance to shine.

God Bless,

Dr. David Sorkin
