It's Tommie Give Day – and this one is more important than ever! Today our entire St. Thomas community is rallied around raising hardship scholarship support for students experiencing financial challenges due to the pandemic. In response to a dramatic increase in need, our Board of Trustees has generously stepped up with a record-setting $1 million challenge fund to inspire gifts that will help keep our students in school and on track to graduate. Today, each and every gift, no matter the size, will unlock a $100 gift! Additionally, all gifts will be matched, dollar for dollar, doubling your impact! Let’s show what we can accomplish together! You in? #TommieGiveDay
