Come Together & Give Back on April 10!
Support Assumption’s Day of Giving!
With your support of The Assumption Fund on April 10th, you will help our students thrive. Join us in this exciting day of giving back with your gift today.
Make an Impact That Multiplies
Your gift on Assumption’s Day of Giving helps unlock tens of thousands of dollars in challenge funds that directly support our students. Thanks to your incredible generosity, the $25,000 challenge gift from Candace (McGovern) Race ’78, Chair of the Board of Trustees, has already been unlocked—but we’re not done yet!
A new challenge is on the table: if 150 more donors make a gift today, Carl ’98 and Jacqueline Cafaro will contribute an additional $25,000 to The Assumption Fund.
When you give, you’re not just making an impact—you’re multiplying it. Every donation, big or small, brings us one step closer to creating more opportunities for Greyhounds to thrive.unds to thrive.
One Special Day. Two Great Traditions.
In 2004, former Vice President of Student Affairs Catherine WoodBrooks transformed the simple act of releasing the Assumption ducks back to the campus pond each spring into a beloved tradition known as Duck Day.
This year, Assumption’s Day of Giving coincides with Duck Day, bringing together two powerful moments of campus pride and community connection. As we gather to celebrate the return of the ducks, we also recognize the many ways our community supports one another—Hounds helping Hounds—through generosity, spirit, and shared love for Assumption.
Give Back. Fuel What’s Next.
When you give to The Assumption Fund, you help drive innovation, expand opportunities, and strengthen the student experience. Your support empowers Greyhounds to lead, grow, and thrive in a changing world. Every gift moves Assumption—and its students—forward.
