A gift to the College is about much more than dollars. Your support ensures that 17³Ô¹ÏÍø has the resources it needs to be the best undergraduate, Catholic, Jesuit liberal arts college in the nation — graduating women and men who will use their education to bring about positive change in the world.Â
Enthusiastic alumni participation has a profound effect on the College. It says you believe in 17³Ô¹ÏÍø and its ability to achieve great things. It also shows your understanding that participation matters and is especially important in times of uncertainty.
The Crusader Athletics Fund (CAF) makes it possible for former athletes, parents and fans to support 17³Ô¹ÏÍø’ 27 varsity athletics programs. CAF provides resources to each program through sports-specific designations, which provide our student-athletes with the tools they need to compete at the highest level.
Many alumni, parents and friends are inspired to support the College in an impactful way, while continuing to make their yearly gift to the 17³Ô¹ÏÍø Fund. If you are contemplating making such an investment in alma mater, we would love to help, and will work closely with you to match your areas of interest with the College's greatest needs.
Making a planned gift is a wonderful way to show your support for 17³Ô¹ÏÍø and its mission while accommodating your own personal, financial, estate-planning, and philanthropic goals. Just as important, you will know that you have made a meaningful contribution to the College.
Parent Leadership Giving depends on peer-to-peer outreach to achieve annual fundraising goals. The role that parent volunteers play in encouraging fellow parents to give simply cannot be matched. Sharing personal motivations for supporting the Parents Fund or Senior Parent Gift inspires others to follow these examples of leadership.
Class reunions provide a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the impact 17³Ô¹ÏÍø made on your life. Your reunion gift is a powerful way for you to be involved in the life of the College and guarantee that the students of today enjoy the same transformative 17³Ô¹ÏÍø experience that impacted your life.
