Subject: Class of XXXX - let's show them why we tell the story!
Hi [first name],
Do you remember what it felt like to be sitting in the Auditorium on Mercy Day? Watching the Mercy Day skit, cheering for the Catherine McAuley Award winners, rushing the stage for "Why We Tell the Story?" Mercy Day is full of some of my favorite memories from our time at McAuley.
On September 22nd, McAuley students will have that same experience! Seeing the pictures from Mercy Day every year remind me of what it felt like to be a student at McAuley, and remind me how grateful I am for the education and opportunities I received.
Join me in celebrating Mercy Day and honoring our time at McAuley by participating in Mercy Day of Giving, a 24-hour giving day on September 22. Let's show them that the Class of xxxx is ready to Rise to the Challenge to help McAuley reach their goal of raising $150,000 from 600 donors!

Subject: The challenge is on!
Hi [first_name],
TODAY is the day! It's Mercy Day of Giving, and it's time to Rise to the Challenge and support Mother McAuley!
I truly believe that an investment in McAuley is an investment in the future. Young women graduate from McAuley and move forward with conviction, confidence, compassion, and the courage to pursue their dreams. Just as the alumnae who came before them paved the way as presidents of major corporations, top-level engineers, award-winning lawyers, renown doctors, creative entrepreneurs, and so much more, current and future Mighty Macs hold the promise of a better and brighter future.
They are leaders. They are changemakers. A gift on Mercy Day of Giving shows them that they have a whole community behind them who believe in all they can accomplish. Make a gift at mercydayofgiving.mothermcauley.org.
If you’ve already donated, thank you so much for your support! I hope you’ll consider sharing your McAuley story with your friends and family on social media to get the word out about Mercy Day of Giving and the difference McAuley makes in our community and world! Be sure to use #MacsGiveBack!
