The third annual RivalsUnite4Girls campaign is March 20 - 23 and we need YOU to assure that the Golden Piggy Bank returns home! Last year, we fell just short of Mercy finishing second ahead of Sacred Heart and Assumption. This year, we only have FOUR days to regain our winning status, therefore, we’re calling all Pres Girls to make a gift between March 20 and March 23 to put the Toppers back on TOP!
RivalsUnite4Girls is a friendly competition between the four Louisville all-girl Catholic high schools. The purpose of this initiative is twofold: to encourage women to support their alma mater with a gift to the annual fund all while providing young women the opportunity for a quality Catholic education. |

During this year’s campaign (March 20 – 23, 2018), Pres needs you to make a gift to the annual fund. The annual fund is the lifeblood of the school; supporting the operational budget and helping bridge the gap between tuition and what it actually costs to educate a Pres Girl.
The school with the highest percentage of alumnae participation at the conclusion of the campaign will win. Last year, we saw a 19% increase which included nearly 250 more alumnae donors than the year before! This year, let’s continue that momentum. Pres challenges you to increase participation by 25% - this would mean over 1,000 donors participating! We need you to make your annual fund gift before March 23rd and encourage your fellow Pres Girls to do the same.

What is #RivalsUnite4Girls?
In the fall of 2016, representatives from the four Louisville all-girl Catholic high schools gathered together to discuss the possibility of a joint alumnae fundraising challenge. Leadership at Assumption High School, Mercy Academy, Presentation Academy and Sacred Heart Academy all agreed that this was a unique opportunity to rally alumnae support while raising awareness of providing young women with the best education possible.
While each of the schools are rivals, both academically and athletically, they share a long history of graduating students prepared for college and beyond. The name of the proposed challenge quickly became clear: #RivalsUnite4Girls.
During the blitz, typically a two week period in March, Rockets, Jags, Toppers and Valkyries are encouraged to make a gift to their respective annual fund. The annual fund is the lifeblood of the school; supporting the operational budget and helping to bridge the gap between tuition and what it actually costs to educate a student. The school with the highest alumnae participation percentage at the conclusion of the challenge wins the “Golden Piggy Bank” and a year of bragging rights.

Disclaimer
While we are truly grateful for ALL alumnae support, the goal of this campaign is to increase alumnae participation to the annual fund. The annual fund supports operations including, tuition assistance, technology, salaries, etc. Donations to the annual fund are unrestricted dollars. Because we are striving to increase participation, no amount is too small.
If you made a donation through a Tower newsletter, the annual report, responded to the annual appeal mailing, Give Local Louisville, or sent in an unrestricted donation, thank you! Your gift has been counted in our participation percentage. If you have restricted your gift or given to Tower Awards, Alumnae events, a specific scholarship, Walkathon, Pot O Gold, and/or Beyond-Major Gifts, there is still an opportunity to donate to the annual fund.
