Father Kezar Opening Doors Foundation

We need your help with this year's Father Kezar Opening Doors Foundation's annual 24 hours "Thanks-For-Giving Challenge." We have a group of donors that have agreed to match the first $50,000 we receive from the challenge. We could not be more excited! Our goal is to take advantage of every dollar and raise $50,0000, and with the match, raise a total of $100,000. The Father Kezar Opening Doors Foundation (FKODF) is a not-for-profit organization. The mission is to provide need-based financial aid for qualified students to attend Saint Stephen's Episcopal School in Bradenton, FL.

On behalf of our not-for-profit, Father Kezar Opening Doors Foundation (FKODF), I want to thank you for your support in helping us accomplish our goals. Working with Saint Stephen's Episcopal School (SSES), we aim to open the doors of educational opportunities for a diverse group of promising young students. SSES and the FKODF efforts to ensure an academic opportunity for deserving students are very dear to my heart. There can be no finer gift than receiving an opportunity. As a child whose life was originally marred by poverty, I have been profoundly grateful for each coach, teacher, and patron who opened doors for me and made it possible for me to travel from a farm in Iowa to Oxford University for my doctoral degree.
