Lee Jenkins Endowment Fund
The Lee Jenkins Endowment Fund was established thanks to a bequest from Lenore (Lee) C. Jenkins. Lee passed away on March 26, 2006 at the age of 93. Lee loved the children of St. Philomena School. She worked tirelessly to support the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur so school supplies were always available. In 1996, she generously gave seed money of $14,000 to initiate St. Philomena School’s first computer lab. Lee was a great philanthropist and responded generously to the needs around her.
In the fall of 2006, a Scholarship Endowment has been established for St. Philomena School in memory of Mrs. Lee Jenkins. Mrs. Jenkins stated in her will that a scholarship endowment gift of one-half million dollars be used to ensure that Catholic education was accessible for all Catholic families. The Lee Jenkins Endowment Fund finances tuition assistance. A portion of the Endowment Fund is withdraw and used to help with tuition assistance for needy families.
A donation to the Lee Jenkins Endowment Fund will help future St. Philomena School students.
