Since the school is not parish related. the school does not have a scholarship fund nor does it receive any support from the archdiocese. At this years fundraiser. the keynote speaker will be the South African Ambassador to the United States. Harry Heinz Schwarz. Ambassador Schwarz brings with him the unique distinction of being the first serving politician from opposition antiapartheid ranks to be appointed to a senior Ambassadorial post in South African history. His own personal history makes him keenly aware of prejudice as he emigrated to South Africa with his parents as Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany. In addition to Ambassador Schwarz. the St. Frances fundraiser will honor two highly regarded community leaders. former Mayor Clarence "Du" Burns and Alleck Resnick.
