Make Your Mark Today
Donor Recognition Monuments
On Thursday, Carondelet's students celebrated the opening of the
Jean Hofmann Center for Innovation.
Thanks to all who have requested information, taken tours, made gift commitments and pledges, and named spaces in and around the I-Center.
As we prepare for upcoming I-Center opening events, we invite everyone to make their mark on this transformative new space on our main campus. It is important that our whole Carondelet family has the opportunity to be involved in this way. Recognition options begin at
$1,000
and donors will be prominently features in front of the building on our donor recognition monuments.
In addition, there are still spaces available for
naming
($25K+). Like all gift levels, this option can be given outright, or pledged up to four years. We are eager for all who wish to be represented to have the opportunity to be part of this exciting moment in Carondelet history.
Visit our
website
to take a tour of the I-Center and see the full list of naming opportunities.
