A Packed House Celebrates ICA Cristo Rey Academy at Annual Business Lunch

Friends and supporters of ICA Cristo Rey Academy, a Catholic girls college preparatory high school in San Francisco, swarmed the campus in record numbers on March 27th, to celebrate the academy’s 15th Annual Business Lunch and benefit. Over 675 guests were in attendance, making the $1.2 fundraiser one of the most successful in the school’s history. The event’s program–led by student emcees and presenters–highlighted the school’s achievements and its students’ successes.

Mayor Daniel Lurie was in attendance to help mark the occasion, and join in honoring individuals and organizations that have been integral to ICA Christo Rey’s success–such as Elizabeth and the Honorable Robert Dondero, who received the 2025 Leader in Mission Award. Funds raised at the 2025 Annual Business Lunch will help support ICA Cristo Rey’s mission to empower girls from underserved communities through its rigorous academic program.
