Wednesday, November 13, is our 15th annual Give to St. Kate鈥檚 Day! Each fall, the 亚色影库 community shows up to participate in giving challenges throughout the day, dollar-for-dollar donation matches, a student scavenger hunt, and more. Gifts made on this day provide essential scholarships.
This year on her first Give to St. Kate鈥檚 Day, the University鈥檚 new president, Marcheta P. Evans, PhD, is making her own contribution to the spirit of giving and investment in future leaders.
鈥淚 am thrilled to be participating in my very first Give to St. Kate鈥檚 Day, in support of our incredible students 鈥 and their futures,鈥 said President Evans. 鈥淚n my first semester here at St. Kate鈥檚, I鈥檝e seen the direct impact of resources like scholarships on our students鈥 ability to fulfill their potential and make meaningful change in their communities.鈥
On this day of giving, join President Evans in a challenge unique to new donors: once 75 new donors make their first gift on Nov. 13, $50,000 will be released!
Give to St. Kate鈥檚 Day challenge donors are those donors who step up and give to inspire the St. Kate鈥檚 community to show up on our biggest day of giving. Jack Richtman is one of these donors. Richtman, who recently celebrated his 100th birthday, has been a Give to St. Kate鈥檚 Challenge donor for the last two years. He first gave in 2023 in honor of his late wife, Karwyn Casperson Richtman 鈥46, and their daughter, Jane Richtman Martin 鈥82, who gives annually to the Katie Fund. Jack鈥檚 generosity is a testament to his support of Katies like his wife and daughter.
Thanks to donors like Richtman and President Evans, Give to St. Kate鈥檚 Day raises funds for student resources like scholarships, which help Katies claim their education and complete their degrees.
On Give to St. Kate鈥檚 Day, we have one goal: to raise 100 scholarships for our students. Every $5,000 raised on November 13 translates to one student scholarship. Join President Evans, Richtman, and our generous community of donors to support student success:
