The Rose Gala, St. Cecilia Academy's largest fundraising event of the year, will be held on March 28, at Loews Nashville Hotel at Vanderbilt Plaza. This special evening brings together our SCA community of parents, alumnae, alumnae parents, and friends in celebration and support of St. Cecilia.
We are honored to recognize Mary Lynn Donnelly '76, Rita Ann Donnelly Holiman '79, Denise Donnelly Beaty '80, and to posthumously honor Frances "Lolo" Donnelly Hobbs '70, Katherine "Kay" Donnelly Swinehart '68, and their mother Rita Whitehead Donnelly '48. The Donnelly family has been a source of steadfast friendship and faithful support to St. Cecilia Academy, and we look forward to celebrating their remarkable legacy.
Join us for dinner, entertainment, and silent and live auctions - all for the young women of St. Cecilia Academy.
