  • How An Evening With... Was Born

    Through the vision of 1963 alumnus Bob Walter and his wife, Peggy, St. Charles Preparatory School introduced “An Evening With…”create an annual event that featured intriguing speakers and offered insight into various thought-provoking topic in 2015. The goal of “An Evening With…” was twofold.  One, to create an annual event series that featured intriguing speakers and offered insight into various thought-provoking topics, and two, to raise funds that would provide tuition assistance to St. Charles families in need.

    The inaugural speaker was Wall Street icon, Peter Lynch. Since then, the event has welcomed distinguished presenters such as the enthusiastic basketball broadcaster, Dick Vitale; military hero and patriot, Major Dan Rooney; U.S. Army veteran, CEO of the Robin Hood Foundation and Governor, Wes Moore; former football star and Christian missionary, Tim Tebow; Nicholas James Vujicic, a motivational speaker who was born with a rare disorder characterized by the absence of all four limbs; and most recently, Magnus MacFarlane-Barrow, Founder and CEO of Mary’s Meals, an organization that provides life-changing meals to some of the world’s poorest children.

    Since 2015, we have raised millions, allowing us to provide tuition assistance to more young men who may not otherwise have the opportunity to attend St. Charles.
    Sponsorships for “An Evening With...” can be directed to the St. Charles Endowment or can be used to start your own named endowment fund.
