Founded in 1848, Ursuline Academy honors the unique, God-given talents of every young woman and works to assure that each student, feeling the acceptance and support of a loving community, grows to see herself as a strong and competent contributor to her world. As we approach our 175th year, we continue to fulfill our mission and promise to our students and this year we are asking for your assistance. The generosity of our community has been a critical component of Ursuline Academy’s success.

Last year was the first year of our rebranded UA Soirée Auction - a true celebration of our Ursuline legacy and community - and a celebration it was! We were blessed to raise over $250,000 throughout the evening. These funds directly benefit our students in many ways including significant updates to our patio and outdoor spaces, improved wiring to power new smart screens in every classroom and professional development for our teachers to enhance the educational experience. Looking ahead into our next 175 years, this year we hope to have the same incredible showing of loyalty. We ask that you consider being a part of our legacy and support our current and future students through one of our giving opportunities.

Whether it be a sponsorship, an ad in our program, or an auction item, you will be making a tax-deductible contribution that will benefit these young women. At the same time, you will receive valuable exposure through event marketing, including premiere signage and acknowledgment on our social media and digital channels. Also this year through our Sponsorship Program, you can support Ursuline Academy and have a presence at our major events throughout the year: the UA Soirée Annual Auction, our Golf Classic, and the Alumnae Association Trivia Night. These events entertain over 1,000 attendees in person and nearly 4,500 through our virtual platform both locally and with alumnae across the country.

We hope that you can participate in our fundraising efforts this year. Please complete the enclosed donation form and mail your item to Ursuline, drop it off at the Academy, or contact us at: auction@ursulinestl.org or call 314-984-2863. It may benefit you to get your donation in before the end of the year for 2022 tax benefits. On behalf of the many young women of Ursuline Academy that have and will benefit from your generosity, we thank you in advance for your support!
