We’re so inspired by the generosity during this year’s Power of Purple Giving Day. You’ve helped us achieve our original 6,000 and new 7,000 donor goal! With just 4 hours left, there is still work to be done. Help us complete the remaining matches and challenges before midnight!
If you’re on campus today for Winter Homecoming festivities, join us for the Holy Cross Theatre Department’s performance of Into the Woods starts at the Prior Performing Arts Center at 7:30pm!
Men’s basketball is playing Lehigh RIGHT NOW on the newly dedicated Bob Cousy ‘50 court in the Hart Center! If you’re not on campus for winter homecoming, tune in on NESN or ESPN+!
The first day of the Power of Purple showed what this community can do when it comes together.
Alumni across the country demonstrated their belief and confidence in our students–supporting who they are and who they are becoming.
Today is about carrying that momentum forward.
Participation is exceeding our every expectation. We are excited to announce we have decided to stretch our goal to 7,000 donations for the weekend to challenge our community to show the true Power of Purple.
Let's keep going – your support today will help us finish Giving Day strong!
231 days ago by Rebecca LangeFrom now until midnight, a generous donor has committed to match every dollar raised, up to $100,000!
Contribute to a challenge and unlock extra funds for our students. Your support enables academic discoveries like Molly's decision to major in Peace and Conflict Studies.
