Get Ready - #GivingTuesday is almost here!

Thanksgiving has come and gone, but the time for being thankful remains strong. We're thankful for all of you, our Immaculata Community, as we move into the Season of Giving.

 

#GivingTuesday is an opportunity continue to give thanks; for the education we've received, for our Home at the Dome, and for support of our students. Your commitment to the Immaculata Fund can help our students make memories from the time they spend on the Noble Hill, and help them last a lifetime.

 

In this the Season of Giving, we hope you'll #BeMighty and support Immaculata this #GivingTuesday.
