Thank you we are 31% to our goal of 100 donors!

Thanks to your participation, Marygrove College is happy to report that we are at 31% of our goal of 100 donors, and it is only 11:30 a.m.!   This is tremendous news for Marygrove seniors facing financial hardships that could prevent them from graduating.

It is heartwarming to see that 55% of our donors are Marygrove alums and know how important it is to graduate.

If your friends have not given yet, tell them why you gave and it may inspire them to join you!
