Mona's generosity set the stage for a successful evening honoring volunteers, business partners, and Catholic schools and students.  For a program book with all of the details, including sponsors, underwriters, volunteer and business partner bios, and winning scholarship essays, click here.  As the primary fund-raiser for CBN-PG's year-round giving, the Awards Celebration was the most successful to date and raises the bar for future events.

Catholic Student Center representatives from the University of Maryland receive the May grant check.The big news from the May CBN-PG Networking breakfast was the report by Treasurer and incoming President, John B. Kincaid, Jr., that the Annual Awards Celebration raised over $15,000 this year. This will allow CBN-PG to continue its monthly grants to Catholic elementary and secondary schools in Prince George's County.
 
The May grant recipient was the Catholic Student Center. The money will be used to subsidize the cost of their annual retreat which is priced to make it possible for students to attend.Andrea Harrison at the CBN-PG Networking Breakfast, May 18, 2012. Last year over 120 students took advantage of the retreat opportunity.
 
Andrea Harrison, the Chairman of the Prince George's County Council, was the guest speaker. She credits her home and Catholic school upbringing for her success and said that it was "not just books" but the development of character and caring that she received from her parents and from her Catholic education that made her the person she is today.
