 “For nearly 20 years, the Diocese of Brooklyn’s
Futures in Education Foundation invested in a most precious
commodity - children. Test scores continue to rise, as do
other quality indicators. A remarkable 99 percent of students
from Futures’ schools graduate and more than 90 percent go on
to post secondary education. Obviously the dedication of
Diocesan teachers and the commitment to education of parents
and students alike merit high praise for these extraordinary
results. But without the resources provided by the generous
individuals and corporate benefactors of Futures, such success
would not be possible. Indeed, Futures is blessed, not only by
their generosity but by the extraordinary dedication of its
Advisory Board whose members, under the leadership of Bishop
Nicholas DiMarzio, give of their time and talent as well as
their resources to ensure that children have a bright future.”
Mindful of the mission of St. John’s
University to serve those most in need, St. John’s honored a
program that is equally committed to making a tangible
difference in the lives of thousands of young people who might
otherwise be deprived of educational opportunity.
We at Futures are extremely honored to
have been presented with this award and want to thank all of
our advisory board members, donors and supporters who make
what we do possible.
