Cristo Rey Jesuit High School in Baltimore City is an independent, coeducational college prep school serving 9th & 10th graders with modest means. They are the recipient of the 2008 "Solutions Through Service" Symposium's "Outstanding Community Partner," which was held at UMBC on April 12th, 2008. This event was sponsored through the Living Learning Communities by the Office of Undergraduate Education and co-sponsored by the Baltimore Collegetown Network. Cristo Rey is now in their second year of implementation.
Mid-Atlantic Properties has offered Cristo Rey Jesuit a unique fundraising opportunity. Mid-Atlantic Properties owns a building across the street from the Maryland State fairgrounds in Timonium. They have given Cristo Rey Jesuit permission to rent out their parking spaces during the Maryland State Fair. Proceeds go to Cristo Rey Jesuit High School. The fair runs from August 22 through September 1. Parking spaces can be rented out on weeknights and all day during weekends. Volunteers are needed for 4 - 5 hour shifts to coordinate the parking in this donated space, ideally 7 people per shift.
