💜 The Power of Purple 💜
The Power of Purple is the power of our mission.
Because mission is at the heart of every Crusader.
Through dedicated service, meaningful mentorship, and lasting connections,
we carry the legacy and hope of the Cross.
We begin this day with tremendous support. A group of generous Trustees has offered a challenge: for every 1,000 donors, they will give $100,000 – up to $400,000!
Plus, for alumni in classes between 2012 and 2021, every dollar will be matched, up to $50,000. This is an opportunity for graduates of the last decade to double your impact!
We are ever faithful, ever hopeful – forward-thinking, forward-reaching.
This is our tradition, our passion.
This is the Power of Purple.
Your gift to the College supports our mission and propels us forward – to expand access to the tradition and benefits of a Jesuit, liberal arts education.
Help us continue living our mission boldly. Make your gift today and help unlock $450,000 in Trustee challenge and match dollars for our students. 🔐
