Tis the Season of Giving

In the spirit of the holiday season, remember Mercy!  There are many ways to impact the education of young women and to make a difference, but the most important show of support is making a gift to this year's combined Annual Appeal and Capital Campaign.

Please keep Mercy High School in mind when you consider your year end charitable giving.  Make a gift now before year end and take full advantage of income tax deductions.  All gifts donated online before year end and checks postmarked by 12/31/08 will be eligible for charitable tax deductions on your 2008 return.

We rely on the generosity of our alumnae, friends, and family to continue the tradition of educating women who make a difference.  Won't you help us by Investing in Excellence . . . Building Mercy's Future?
