2021 June Challenge

Dear Purple Knights,

After a year filled with unforeseen challenges and unexpected hurdles, our SMC community has come together - emotionally and financially - to support our students and campus.

We're right on the cusp of reaching our $10M fundraising goal for the year - a remarkable show of support and commitment to SMC! With your gift, we can hit our crucial goal by midnight tonight.

Please help us close out the June Challenge successfully - and give current Purple Knights a strong and inspired start to the year ahead!

We can do this Purple Knights!

Dear Saint Michael's alumni, families, and friends,

With just 12 hours to go before the end of our fiscal year, I ask you to join me as we strive to hit our ambitious fundraising goal of $10 million! 

We only need $140,000 to reach our $10 million goal and 250 donors to complete the June Challenge. Alumni gifts count toward our all-important participation goal, and we can only reach this amazing achievement with your help!

As President Sterritt said earlier this year, "When times are tough, our instinct is to hold tight to our families, our friends, and the places we know and love best. Just the thought of St. Mike’s and the educational and faith foundation that it has given generations is prompting so many to support the College during these difficult times."

We've seen unprecedented support and generosity this year, as alumni, family, and friends have stepped up for our students, the College, and one another. With your help, we can begin the new fiscal year and the coming academic year on strong footing, ready to Do Well and Do Good like never before. Please join us!

Thank you,

Krystyna Davenport Brown
Vice President for Institutional Advancement

Hello Purple Knights, 

The June Challenge is off to a great start! More than 200 members of the Saint Michael’s Community have made a gift.

If we can reach the halfway mark of 250 donors, Don Dion ’76 will give an additional $10,000 to the Saint Michael’s Fund.

We need your help to reach this milestone and to unlock $10,000 in support for our students. Your gift and the $10,000 match will make it possible for the College to support current students while planning new, innovative programming for the years to come.

Make your gift today!

Thank you,

Jen Conetta ’09 and Michaela Rivers ’14

Dear Purple Knights,

Over the past year and a half, I have been so impressed by the Saint Michael’s community and the way all of you have supported one another and overcome challenges together. I find myself grateful and ever more optimistic.

For our students, this past year shaped who they are and what they know. Support from alumni like you made it possible for them to continue their studies and enabled our faculty and staff to support them through one of the most challenging academic years in the College’s history.

Please consider making a gift before June 30 so that we may continue to provide our students with the skills and experiences they need to do well and to do good.

We have bright plans for the future of Saint Michael’s. I hope you will join us in moving forward together.

Sincerely yours,

Lorraine Sterritt
President
