Parent and Family Philanthropic Council
The Parent and Family Philanthropic Council is a dedicated community of St. Thomas families who are passionate about advancing the mission of St. Thomas for their students and future Tommies.
Council members receive invitations to special events featuring key university leaders, where they have the opportunity to socialize and build relationships with fellow Tommie families. All members have made a significant financial commitment to St. Thomas.
Last year, 846 parent households donated gifts of all sizes, totaling nearly $2.5M to support current and future Tommies.
Thank you to all our current Parent and Family Philanthropic Council members. We greatly appreciate your support of St. Thomas and our students.

At the event, students will offer tours of the many unique spaces throughout the Schoenecker center—a new kind of facility for arts, science and engineering education. You'll have an opportunity to ask questions and get to know fellow parents—all to the backdrop of live music performed by student musicians.
Tommie Parents Make Robotics Lab a Reality
With the Schoenecker Center officially open, it offers a state-of-the-art robotics laboratory thanks to the generosity Foundation 94, established by St. Thomas parents Angelena and Henry Blattner. This facility provides students with hands-on robotics research and lab experiences that are foundational to engineering education. Thank you to the Blattners for making this lasting impact on St. Thomas students!
"St. Thomas already boasts impressive Engineering facilities; we are pleased to be able to donate to the new Schoenecker Center and for the opportunities it will provide to current and future Tommies."
- Angelena and Henry Blattner, P`24
