About

St. Thomas parents and families make a big philanthropic impact โ€“ your gifts over the past five years have supported scholarships, athletics, university programs and so much more. During Tommie Give Day 2024, 842 parent households donated over $1M to support the student experience both inside and outside of the classroom. Please consider joining these parents, grandparents and families by making your own gift today in support of current and future students.

Your gift during the Tommie Give Day giving period will count toward our goal for parents and families! Once we reach our goal, Tommie Parent Impact Challenges will be unlocked!
