THANK YOU FOR GIVING TO HONOR HER

Our generous donors honored hundreds of women who inspired our 亚色影库 community through their actions, love, and support by giving to the Katie Fund.

These gifts to the Katie Fund will improve the academic, extracurricular, social, spiritual, and physical resources and support that are so integral to the St. Kate鈥檚 experience for our beloved students. Most importantly, they will provide the scholarships that our students need. Thank you for your kindness!

The names and tributes of honorees will appear here, on our online tribute, which will run throughout March in celebration of Women's History Month.

Spread the word! In addition to making a gift in honor of a woman (or women) in your life, now鈥檚 the perfect time to reach out to your friends, family members, neighbors, church members, dog-walker, book club members, workout buddy 鈥 everyone! 鈥 to invite them to participate and make a gift.

Any woman can be honored: moms, grandmothers, sisters, daughters, aunts, friends, mentors, colleagues, leaders, advocates, teachers, and caregivers are only a few possibilities. They can be women you know, or women you wish you had the opportunity to meet. Although there are many inspirational women right here at St. Kate's, the women honored do not need to be affiliated with the University. Those honored must be names i.e. not narrative. Those honored will be reviewed prior to posting on University's new digital tribute.

Anyone!

We invite each donor to honor one to three women per gift.

All gifts are welcome and appreciated! The average gift for GTHH is $100, but there is no minimum gift required.

March is Women's History Month, the perfect time to honor women who inspire us.

Instead of print ads this year, we are embracing an interactive platform so we can learn the story behind the name. We鈥檙e excited to introduce a fresh, new way to honor the incredible women changing the world. For Women鈥檚 History Month, we鈥檙e going digital with a tribute that will be live throughout March. This new format lets you share more鈥攎ore stories, more messages, and more inspiration. It鈥檚 an exciting way to celebrate the women who are making an impact every day!

  2. Create a Post: Look for the 鈥+ Add Post鈥 button to add your special message.
  3. Write Your Message: Share a sweet note, a meaningful memory, or anything that brings a smile. Feel free to upload a photo or a video to make your tribute even more personal.
  4. Post: Once you鈥檙e ready, click 鈥淧ost鈥 to share your tribute.

Review Process: We will try to review and post your tribute within 1-2 hours during business hours. However, please allow up to 24 hours for your tribute to be posted.

Search the Tribute: If you鈥檙e looking for something specific, you can press Ctrl + F and type in a name to easily find mentions.
