Alumni Giving Challenge | June 8-12, 2020

Your Vianney experience helped form you for success. As Marianist founder, Blessed William Joseph Chaminade stated, “New times call for new methods.” Our current learning environment calls for new resources to help Vianney students prepare for college and beyond.

We’re asking for your help to provide the tools that today’s Griffin needs to chart a successful course throughout his life. With this in mind, Vianney has three immediate needs:
1. Technology and software for distance learning applications
2. Professional development for faculty best practices in a virtual classroom setting
3. Tuition assistance for families experiencing significant economic hardships from the COVID-19 pandemic

Please consider a gift to help our students carry on the tradition of success that you helped create. Give to this year’s Alumni Giving Challenge, and let our students know that you’re rooting for their success!

You can donate at our DONATE NOW page or Venmo @VianneyGriffins1960.

ALL alumni events are cancelled through at least June. We keep you and your family in our prayers in the face of COVID-19.
