Karen Rauenhorst Receives First Aim Higher Foundation Award
FADICA's Board Secretary Karen Rauenhorst (Mark and Karen Rauenhorst Family Foundation) received the first Aim Higher Foundation Award on Sept. 28. The award honors Karen's national leadership in Catholic education and her commitment to its affordability for students in the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis. After leading the board of the Aim Higher Foundation since its inception five years ago, Karen was honored by the organization during its annual Night of Light celebration in Minneapolis. Karen also contributes her leadership and expertise through participation in FADICA’s Catholic Schools Affinity Group and in the Catholic School Philanthropy Working Group.
The sexual abuse of children and vulnerable adults in the Catholic Church is an outrage. FADICA stands in solidarity with the survivors of sexual abuse and prays for the healing of all victims. We condemn the practices, cultures, and actions that have led to or allowed this abuse to occur. We call for immediate interventions to end sexual abuse and the individual and systemic practices which propagate them.
FADICA member The Assisi Foundation of Memphis awarded one million dollars to a new initiative to help health care “super-utilizers” in Memphis’ Region One Health system access appropriate care and improve health outcomes.
