MPS CAPITAL CAMPAIGN

MAKE IT SO.
We are just shy of the 90% mark of reaching our $3 million goal for the Call to Lead Campaign.

The three-year campaign, which began in July 2003, has raised close to $2.7 million for faculty and staff salary endowment, scholarship endowment, science laboratories renovation and a new heating system but we still have not reached our finish goal of
$3 million dollars.

There has been an outpouring of generosity from alums, faculty, parents and friends of Mercyhurst Prep to help all of us realize this goal. With the finish line so close in our sight, please ask yourself, “What more can I do to contribute a monetary gift toward the campaign?” We ask again for your support in putting us over the top.

If you have not contributed thus far, we call out to you to let your voice be heard that you support what MPS provides to our children and the community. If you have contributed already but are considering another gift, God bless you for answering the “Call” again and stepping up to the plate on our behalf.

We cannot do this without your leadership. Help us reach our goal soon for it is important that we complete this task. If you did not know already, an anonymous alum has agreed to donate $1 for every $2 raised. That means every gift is automatically increased by 50%. In this way, you can now multiply the amount of good that you initiate with your gift.

There are many ways and many levels of giving. Please study the guides below and see if any of the named gift opportunities or remaining building blocks work for you. Of course any contribution of any amount, will be welcomed graciously with open arms of thanks.
