La Merced Gala Exceeds Fundraising Goal

Through the generosity of parents, alumnae, sponsors, donors, and friends we raised more than $160,000 for the Mercy Scholarship Fund, exceeding our goal, during our annual La Merced Gala.
We received more sponsorships than ever before and the amount raised during our Fund-a-Need doubled from last year. It’s these generous contributions that form the foundation of Mercy’s 65-year legacy of educating more than 11,000 alumnae who now serve as leaders and influencers nationally and internationally.

Guests were greeted by Mercy’s award-winning Dolce Choir, were led in prayer by Sr. Janet Rozzano ’56 from Mercy’s pioneer class, and heard a heartfelt personal story from extraordinary student Cynthia Gutierrez ‘18 about how meaningful her Mercy experience has been. Co-MCs San Francisco Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White ‘82 and Associated Student Body President Morgan Hildula ‘18 did a fantastic job energizing the room with their stories from past and present. We were happy to see our Mercy community connecting, laughing, and sharing memories with one another.
We are grateful for the the dedication and hard work of our Honorary Committee and volunteers led by our La Merced Gala Chair, parent Karen Pierotti, who helped make the evening a great success. Our community’s commitment to our students allows them to realize and fulfill their dreams and bring to life the school’s mission and vision of educating women who graduate with fierce determination and daring action to change our world.
