Something special happens when the Holy Cross College community comes together. It’s a movement, a rising tide of generosity, faith, and commitment that stretches far beyond the boundaries of campus. Each step taken—individually and collectively—propels the mission forward.
On April 24, another monumental step will be taken together.
For one day each year, Saints everywhere unite in support of the mission that has shaped generations of engaged scholars, courageous citizens, virtuous leaders, and hopeful disciples. Launched in 2017, the Holy Cross Day of Giving has become more than just a fundraising event—it’s a celebration of shared purpose and a testament to the impact created when the community rises together.
This year’s theme is “Every Step, Every Saint,” because that’s what it will take.
Each gift fuels the future. Contributions strengthen academic programs, expand athletic opportunities, provide scholarships, and enhance student programming. This collective generosity ensures that Holy Cross students receive the support needed to thrive in an ever-changing world. Every dollar, every act of giving paves the way for a stronger, more vibrant Holy Cross College.
This year, the invitation is open to take that step together. Alumni who found lifelong friendships here, parents who have watched their children grow in faith and knowledge, faculty members shaping future leaders, and friends who believe in the mission—all play a vital role.
Saints can celebrate wherever they are. Holy Cross pride can be shown by wearing college gear, sharing stories, and using #EveryStepEverySaint, #SaintsGiveBack, and #HoCroProud to spread the word. Holy Cross gear is online and available at the Hammes bookstore to share your pride.
Mark the calendars. Spread the word. Take the next step. April 24 will be a defining moment for Holy Cross College.
The countdown begins now. Are the Saints ready to rise up?
