About

On Tommie Give Day, the entire St. Thomas community rallies to support scholarship funding that ensures access to a mission-centered, whole-person education for current and future Tommies. Tommie Give Day is a great time to show your support for our students and the St. Thomas Community! Thanks to our Board of Trustees, our Parent and Family Philanthropic Council and other generous donors, gifts will be matched dollar-for-dollar to double the impact. Plus, your contribution will help unlock challenges throughout the day, resulting in even more scholarship support for our students! #TommieGiveDay

When you make a gift of $100 or more through the Tommie Give Day giving page Oct. 21-Nov. 4, you will qualify for a pair of Tommie Choppers! Choose to keep or gift your mittens, benefitting Catholic Charities Twin Cities.

Limit one pair of Tommie Choppers per household. Choppers are one size, approximately adult small.
