Portland, OR. De La Salle North Catholic held its 15th Annual Changing Destinies Luncheon as a virtual event on April 23rd. The second-largest fundraising event for the school raises funds for its financial aid program, to ensure that no student is turned away because of an inability to pay. Currently, 92% of families receive funding to attend De La Salle North Catholic. Going virtual provided new fundraising opportunities for the school and raised $285,250.
Oscar Leong, President of the school, had a message for supporters from the halls of the school now closed because of the COVID-19 crisis.

Hello,
We are a proud partner of De La Salle Catholic and have youth in our program who attend the school. However, we are curious how you selected the lead photo for the story as it depicts a staff and youth from Friends of the Children-Portland. You may want to replace it with one from the school.
