Dear Friends,

As someone who has spent a career covering great teams, standout players, and unforgettable moments, I’ve learned to spot what sets an All-Star apart – that rare spark of someone whose presence and performance lifts others and quietly changes the game.

That’s why l’m inviting you to join us on Tuesday, September 30, for the PIE Back to School Breakfast. A morning full of celebration, purpose, and promise, honoring the unsung heroes who make Catholic education possible for hundreds of students across Baltimore City each year. You’ll hear moving stories, meet student stars on the rise, and witness the game-changing impact of PIE up close.

If you can’t be with us in person, there’s still a way to get in the game: by participating in PIE Giving Day, an all-day celebration of generosity taking place the same day. Your support fuels life-changing opportunities for low- to moderate-income families and keeps students on the path to success.

Let’s rally together and show Baltimore’s kids what’s possible when a city of champions steps up. Mark your calendar for September 30, and let’s make this PIE season
one for the record books.

With gratitude,
Mark Viviano
