2026 Scholarship gala

This year’s Gala honored Mr. and Mrs. Tony and Maria Marchetti, long-standing pillars of the Stamford community. Having immigrated to the U.S. from Italy over fifty years ago, the Marchettis built a thriving family business grounded in faith, perseverance, and service, values that reflect the very heart of our mission. Their story resonates deeply with our students, many of whom are also children of immigrants striving to build a future rooted in virtue and purpose.

Catholic classical education has played a meaningful role in their own formation and that of their family. As devoted supporters of Cardinal Kung Academy, they consider it a privilege to have grandchildren who are both alumni and current students.

Thank you to all those who joined us in honoring Tony and Maria in support of students.
