Mt. Carmel Foundation Supports Athletics

The Athletic Foundation was founded in 1985 to support the athletics programs at Mt. Carmel. The goal is to provide each of the indiviual sport's boosters guidelines and support to maximize each team's ability to fund the best athletic experience for our Sundevils. In 2022 the Athletic Foundation was merged with the Education Foundation to allow for more fundraising opportunities.

Each year the Foundation awards a Scholar Athlete of the Year scholarship to one outstanding male and female student, as well as funding the Scholar Athlete patches for varsity athletes. The Foundation also seeks community support and grants to help fund larger athletics projects, such as the 2022 Chargers Grant which allowed for a $60,000 weight room remodel.
