Mother McAuley's largest fundraiser of the year!


Aptly named, this event celebrates the unique and transformative experience Mother McAuley provides to its young women. Our rigorous academics, powerhouse athletics, award-winning performing and visual arts, and dedication to each individual sets McAuley apart. With your partnership, we will continue in our MIGHTY tradition of empowering courageous women to change the world.

Your support of Celebration will directly impact our programs, from academics and the arts to athletics, technology, campus ministry, and financial aid. You are helping to cultivate tomorrow's leaders - women who will lead with integrity, compassion, and strength.
