The tournament raised $15,587.75 for scholarships. This brings the total raised to more than $216,000. In 2011, the Morris family announced that it had decided to end the 3-on-3 tournament and thanked supporters. The family wrote: After 17 years we have decided to end the Danny Morris/Bishop Miege 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament. It was a great run and there were many, many special moments over the years. We, Danny’s family and Bishop Miege High School, are most grateful and humbled by the kindness and generosity of so many people in support of this tournament. The tournament raised $232,000 in scholarship money for Miege students. We believe Bishop Miege High School is a special place and will continue to support their mission to Catholic Education.

In Kansas City, the students worked at St. James Food Pantry, visited several homeless shelters and spent hours tutoring students at the Upper Room. Thirty students traveled to Cincinnati, Arkansas, to provide cleanup of debris on five farms in the area. This year included a new site, New York City.

This show of generosity has provided $25 million in capital improvements over the past decade. The total renovation of our educational facility and our athletic facilities will serve students for years to come. Currently, we are faced with the challenge of an unstable economy and the rising number of families who seek a quality faith-filled education for their son/daughter, but do not have the necessary resources to provide one. To insure the growth and a secure future, we look to other means of support for the school, thus, the Bishop Miege Legacy Society/Endowment Fund. What is PLANNED GIVING? A “planned gift” can be one you give immediately, such as stocks, property or other assets. Or, it can be one you give later, through a bequest in your Will or a Trust. Making a “planned gift” can be extremely easy. For example, you can add “Bishop Miege High School, Shawnee Mission, KS” as a partial or total beneficiary of your life insurance, IRA, pension account or other investment account. A “planned gift” provides future support to Bishop Miege and offers you the opportunity to extend your legacy of faith beyond your own lifetime. “Planned Giving” necessitates some advanced planning to properly transfer assets. This type of giving typically involves deferred gifts to the school. Thank you for your consideration. 22 2 0 1 0 -2 0 1 1 A N N UA L R E P ORT n BI S HOP M I E G E H IG H S C HO OL Types of PLANNED gifts • Bequests: Designate a gift to Bishop Miege in your will or trust • Charitable Gift Annuity: In return for a donation, receive a fixed income for life • Charitable Remainder Trust: Transfer assets irrevocably to a trust, receive an income for life and remainder goes to Bishop Miege upon your death. •R etained Life Estate: Donate your residence to Bishop Miege as a beneficiary on a certificate of deposit, an annuity, IRA or retirement plan. •L ife Insurance: Designate Bishop Miege as a beneficiary on your life insurance policy or gift a policy you no longer need.
