Class Gift - $40,000 Goal

Support the Catherine Ruth Proctor Memorial Scholarship.
 
Join us in donating to our Class Gift to support the Catherine Ruth Proctor Memorial Scholarship. The Scholarship is awarded to a Saint Mary’s student based on academic merit and financial need. Our goal is to raise $40,000 in memory of Cathy who passed away during our junior year.
 
Cathy's family has pledged to match up to an additional $40,000 base on whatever we raise for the Scholarship.
 
Cathy's 50th Reunion Medallion will be presented to her family At the Alumnae Reunion Luncheon. They also plan to attend the Chapel Service where other classmates who have passed before us will be recognized.
 
To support our efforts, a few classmates stepped forward to offer a $20,000 matching challenge. If we raise $20,000 by May 1st, these classmates will donate a matching $20,000, thereby meeting our goal.

Class Gift - $30,000 Goal

Support the naming of Chapel Pew #75 and help us purchase six teak benches to replace the existing ones in front of the Chapel and Smedes Hall.
 
Join us in donating to our Class Gift! 
 
We seek to raise $10,000 to name Pew #75. We’ve met the funding required to name pew 75 already and an engraved plaque will be installed by the time we arrive on campus!
 
We also seek to raise $20,000 to replace 6 Teak Benches (Chapel/Smedes)
We seek to complete fundraising by March 31 for the benches and get those plaques engraved!
 
Anything above our goal will be used where Saint Mary’s needs it most, with input from the committee.
