Mercy Day of Giving surpasses goals - most successful giving day yet!

Mercy Day of Giving, a 24-hour giving campaign for Mother McAuley, was held on Wednesday, September 24. We are thrilled to share it has been our most successful giving day yet!

We surpassed our goals and raised more than $225,000 from more than 900 donors (and counting!) in support of our Mighty Macs. We are once again reminded of the power of the Mighty Mac spirit.

The day was a powerful testament to the ways in which the McAuley community shows up to support each other and our important mission to empower courageous women to change the world. 

Thank you to all who supported Mercy Day of Giving - your contributions make Mother McAuley strong, and have a direct impact on resources, tools, and opportunities for our students through the McAuley Fund.

We are mightier together!
