Let It Shine Regis Gala: 2019 Sponsorship Kit

LET IT SHINE REGIS GALA

SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES ANNUAL GALA TO SUPPORT STUDENT SCHOLARSHIPS CELEBRATING WOMEN IN STEM

Dear Friends, We are in the midst of an exciting time at Regis as we are about to complete Now We Fly: The Campaign for Regis. Because the campaign is comprehensive, the scholarship support raised for the Let It Shine Gala will feed directly into our goal to help us finish strong.

This year we celebrate Women in STEM and honor our very own Patricia A. D’Amore ’73—a shining example of a woman who took her Regis degree and launched an incredible career in ophthalmology. That’s exactly what Regis is—a launch pad to success. Our emphasis on the sciences and nursing is coupled with a strong focus on foundational liberal arts and the core value of service to ensure a well-rounded education for all of our students. As education costs keep rising, Let It Shine provides merit-based scholarships that give students access to the highly-regarded programs offered at Regis both on our campuses and online.

I hope you will join us at The Westin Boston Waterfront to celebrate our accomplishments and help Regis and its students shine brighter than ever before.

Sincerely, Antoinette M. Hays, PhD, RN President
