Through
the generosity of board members, families and alumnae who have already
heard about the project, we have already received $1.6 million in gifts
toward the Campaign. Included in that is an incredible gift of
$500,000 that was made by the estate of Doris L. Byrne, ’38. “Our
goal is within reach,” says Jane, “and I hope everyone will join in the
excitement of this miracle that has been bestowed upon the Mount.”
Annual Fund Giving Makes the
Difference
Fund Year ends

Annual giving is
especially important to MSDA because of our unique mission. We are proud
to offer an excellent educational experience that is accessible to
deserving young women regardless of income. We are dedicated to keeping
tuition within a manageable range: therefore we rely on the generosity
of our alumnae, parents, volunteers and friends to keep excellence alive
here at the Mount. Each gift helps us build our Foundation for the
Future — the future of Mount St. Dominic Academy and a brighter future
for all of us.
