Join the Dion Family and our community to raise $2M so SDRHS can open its doors in Fall 2026
The Dion Donor Challenge, named in honor of Don & Cathy Dion’s monumental donation to Saint Dominic Regional High School, is a call for community investment in the next generation. The challenge invites 500 individual donors and corporate partners to help raise $2 million as part of our capital campaign to complete and open Saint Dominic Regional High School in 2026.
Saint Dominic RHS is rising in the heart of Lewiston. To open our doors for the 2026–2027 school year, we must raise $2 million to renovate and modernize the historic Peck Building at Great Falls, ensuring it meets Maine’s educational standards.
Your investment will help create a safe, inspiring learning environment that blends tradition with opportunity—strengthening Saint Dominic Regional High School as a lasting educational anchor for students, families, and the wider community. We need your help to make this vision a reality.
The Challenge: Help us Raise $2 Million
We are launching the 500 Dion Donor Challenge, with a simple goal: 👉 500 donors helping raise $2 million for our campus build-out.
Reaching this goal keeps us on track to welcome students in Fall 2026. Whether you give $20, $100, $1,000, or more, your participation matters just as much as your dollar amount. This campaign is about broad community support, alumni pride, and collective ownership in our future.
If 500 people step up, we will reach our goal together!
