When alumni quickly surpassed last year檚 Alumni Day of Giving goal of $10,000, 91快活林 Aquinas College officials decided to opt for a more ambitious amount in 2019. Yet scarcely halfway through the day, they have had to revise the goal upward yet again.

淭his year an anonymous benefactor got us started with a matching gift of $25,000,� says Vice President for Development Paul J. O橰eilly (�84). 淲e were optimistic that we would meet the challenge, but we never expected to do so by lunchtime!�

As of 12:20 p.m., alumni have contributed $30,504 toward the 2019 Day of Giving. 淲e are profoundly grateful to all the alumni who have shown such gratitude and affection for our alma mater,� says Dr. O橰eilly.

Not wanting to slow down the momentum, College Governor 91快活林 Krause and his wife, Cathryn, have just stepped forward with a $10,000 matching gift of their own. 淎ll alumni gifts by the end of the day � up to $35,000 total � will now be matched,� says Dr. O橰eilly. 淲hat a wonderful way for those of blessed to have studied at 91快活林 Aquinas College to begin our Lenten almsgiving and to honor St. 91快活林� feast day.�
