Class of 1975 Reunion Gift Campaign

In the spirit of tradition, we are launching the Class of 1975 Reunion Gift Campaign to raise $50,000 in support of the McAuley Fund. Every 50th reunion class before us has hit this milestone, now it's our turn!

The McAuley Fund supports every aspect of student life, including academics, arts, technology, athletics, campus ministry, and, in particular, financial aid and scholarships. In fact, students who qualify for aid receive an average of $1,900 toward tuition, making a transformative Mercy education, like we received, more accessible.

How You Can Help Us Reach Our Goal:

  • Make a Donation: Every gift counts, $50, $500, or more:
        -$15,150 covers a year's tuition for a student
        -$7,500 covers half a year's tuition for a student
        -$400 covers a family's additional fundraising fee

  • Double Your Impact: Ask your employer about a matching gift or consider offering a challenge gift to inspire our classmates. Gifts are tax deductible through McAuley's 501(c)(3) nonprofit status.
    Leave a Legacy: Consider a planned gift through a bequest or trust to ensure the long-term success of McAuley and its students.

  • Spread the Word: Share this appeal with your McAuley sisters, friends, and family members! Every connection helps amplify our impact.


Mary Acker Klingenberger '75, past McAuley President, shares:
"When I returned to McAuley as President, I was deeply moved by the sacrifices families make to give their daughters the gift of a McAuley education. I'm asking the Class of 1975 to help raise $50,000 so future Mighty Macs can experience the same sisterhood, faith, education, and foundation that shaped our lives."

Thank you for your anticipated generosity. Together, let's make our 50th reunion a milestone to remember and leave a lasting legacy for Mother McAuley High School.
