Support a CHC Legend
Make a gift to the Griffin Fund today
The Bennis Family has generously offered a matching gift challenge in honor of Sister Rita. If we can raise $25,000 on the Day of Giving, March 12, they will match every penny! That’s like doubling your donation!
Who is Sister Rita Michael?
Sister Rita Michael Scully has dedicated her life to teaching and through her long career, she touched hundreds of students’ lives. After 51 years at Chestnut Hill College, she retired from teaching in 2023, though she still comes to campus nearly every day to run clubs for our students including the sewing, calligraphy, and literary clubs.
“I feel constantly blessed, blessed since I was born, in my friends, my students, and my colleagues. I am humbled and honored,” notes Scully.
Gifts made on the Day of Giving go directly to the Griffin Fund.
The fund supports things like:
- Scholarships for students in need
- Student-athletes at home and on the road
- Diverse programs and character-building activities for students beyond the classroom
- New initiatives like the nursing program, online MBA, and Life Skills through Career neurodiversity program
- Established programs like the Montessori teaching program
- Resources for faculty including development opportunities
- Preservation of the historic campus
- Opportunities for spiritual growth with Campus Ministry
But your gift supports far more than that. It connects you to our students as a caring part of our Griffin community committed to the development of the whole person: physical, intellectual, and spiritual. Your gift shows students that you are committed to their success year-round and sets the example that one day, those students will do the same, continuing to use their light to connect future generations of Griffins all to the same mission.
Every gift – no matter the size – will help launch our next 100 years and will make an impact on the lives of thousands of current and future students.
Be a part of something BIG. Make your gift today.
