Scholarship Benefit Dinner
Thursday, May 2, 2019 • 6:00pm San Francisco Airport Marriott Waterfront, Burlingame On May 2, 2019 we will celebrate the 15th Anniversary of Making A Difference Scholarship Benefit. That night, we will present the Catherine McAuley Award to a very special member of our community - Sr. Suzanne Toolan, RSM. As the Chorale teacher at Mercy High School Burlingame for over 20 years, Sr. Suzanne exemplifies the vision of Catherine McAuley in her commitment to the education of young women. She is a teacher, humanitarian, and liturgist, and her skills as a composer enriched prayer for the thousands of Mercy students that have passed through the halls of Kohl Mansion. Beyond our oak-clad acres, Sr. Suzanne’s legacy is honored through the beloved hymns sung in congregations all over the world. Her most famous song, “I am the Bread of Life,” written for Communion, has been translated into more than 20 languages. The Making A Difference Scholarship Benefit was established in 2004 to raise additional funding for tuition assistance to ensure that qualified applicants who dream of a Mercy education are afforded that opportunity. Your participation can change a young woman’s life. Please visit the Making A Difference webpage to register and to view sponsorship opportunities.
