ÇàÂ¥´«Ã½'s (ÇàÂ¥´«Ã½) annual day of giving, We Are ÇàÂ¥´«Ã½ Day, will be celebrated Wednesday, March 26. Each year, the day is held in conjunction with Mission Day, a celebration that spotlights the University's core values of service, excellence, hospitality, and integrity. This year, ÇàÂ¥´«Ã½'s goal is to reach $150,000 in donations.

We Are ÇàÂ¥´«Ã½ Day is a 24-hour, participation-driven effort. Donors don't have to wait until March 26 to make their gift, either. You can ! Your gift will be included in all giving totals, allowing the University to unlock up to $20,000 additional dollars in challenges and matches. 

Members of the ÇàÂ¥´«Ã½ community, alumni, and friends are invited to join in the celebration with a variety of events on We Are ÇàÂ¥´«Ã½ Day. At noon, all are invited to the Mission Day liturgy in McDonough Chapel. After, there will be festivities in the ÇàÂ¥´«Ã½ Diner, including music, delicious snacks, engaging games, and giveaways! The community can stop by to make a gift, take fun photos at the selfie station, and visit with Champ the Cougar. At 3 p.m., the Mission Day Awards ceremony will be held in the McDonough Chapel and honor individuals who exemplify ÇàÂ¥´«Ã½'s core values.

"I am very excited to participate in my first We Are ÇàÂ¥´«Ã½ Day! I have consistently been impressed with the way the ÇàÂ¥´«Ã½ community comes together to support and uplift our students. We Are ÇàÂ¥´«Ã½ Day presents an opportunity for meaningful action — to strengthen our community by collectively investing in our students' futures and perpetuating the legacy of our founding Sisters of Mercy. By participating in We Are ÇàÂ¥´«Ã½ Day, you become part of a movement that celebrates our mission and values and ensures a bright future for ÇàÂ¥´«Ã½," said Adrian Aldrich, vice president for University Adva
