We are so close to our goal, that our Board of Trustees and Emeriti has offered to give an additional $10,000! That's a total of $60,000 to scholarships for students in need if we can hit our ambitious goal of 1,863 donors in honor of our founding year. We have 60 minutes...

Let's Go!

Our Trustees will give $50,000 to scholarships, if we can get to 1,863 donors!

As the Vice President of Student Life at Saint Mary’s, I am thrilled to announce that we have received a generous challenge gift of $50,000 from our Board of Trustees and Emeriti group for One Day One SMC! If we can get to our ambitious donor goal of 1,863 (in honor of our founding year), the $50,000 gift to scholarships is unlocked!

I urge you to join us in this final push and help us unlock the $50,000 challenge gift. Your generosity today will have a lasting impact on our SMC community.

Thank you for your generosity,

Dr. Jim Sciuto, Classes of 2000 & 2022

After another great win against the storied rugby program of UC Berkeley in the CRAA D1A quarterfinals, it all comes down to this! In what has already been a historic season, the Gaels will compete for the last time this season in the West Region and take on the #3 seeded Cougars of BYU. 

The #1 ranked Gaels traveled to Provo, Utah back in March for a non-conference competition, beating the Cougars by a score of 38-21. However, the Cougars have had impressive wins this season against some of the top teams in the nation, including Cal, UCLA, and, most recently, the upset of the #2 ranked Wildcats of Central Washington University in the quarterfinals of the CRAA D1A 2024 playoffs. 

The winner of this weekend's match earns the honor of competing in the College Rugby Association of America D1A National Championship match on May 4 in Houston, Texas.  An anonymous donor has just agreed to match your donation to Men's Rugby dollar for dollar up to $25,000 dollars! Make your gift now before our campaign closes at 7pm PDT tonight! Go Gaels!!

I know that you have a deep connection to Saint Mary’s, and I want to thank you for all of the support you have shown. Your continued generosity is greatly appreciated and helps to ensure that our institution can continue to thrive and support our current and future Gael students.

Please take a moment to share the campaign with a family member or friend, and let's spread the good news of Saint Mary's annual giving day.

Go Gaels!

Hello One Day One SMC Community - 

Taking a moment here to thank you for your early contributions that will surely help us set the tone for our One Day One SMC, 1,863-minute giving challenge. 

As a Gael alumni, scholarship support was the defining factor in making my education possible. In addition to scholarships, there are many other areas of interest that you can support during One Day. Each gift can be split up to five ways so that you can give to the SMC causes you care about most. 

Please continue to share this good news of our giving day with three friends/family members and let's see how far we can spread the generosity for our beloved Gael students. Go Gaels!
