Congratulations to the 2025 Caring Heart Award recipient - The Tom Hopkins Foundation!

The Caring Heart Award was established by Mother McAuley in 2017 in tribute to Caroline Griffin '12. Caroline was a heart transplant recipient who never let her congenital heart condition get in the way of enjoying life. The award is presented annually to a Mother McAuley alumna or organization who gives back to others in spite of their own difficult journey to provide a brighter tomorrow. Caroline's mom and sister, Georgina Griffin '76 and Courtney Griffin '08, presented the award at the After Par-Tee.
