Special Thanks
Without the generous support of The Scott Bieler Foundation, this project would not have been possible. We are grateful that you shared our vision and believed in our mission.
In the words of President Giordano, “The WNY community is a better place because of Scott and Kathy Bieler. Villa Maria is fortunate and blessed that Scott and Kathy recognize the impact our approach is making on so many young people and families from our region. Scott and Kathy’s generosity allows us to continue to prioritize rigorous academic focus while supporting the whole student.”
