Annual Fund Goal
We are humbled and grateful for your participation in the 2015-16 Annual Fund so far. Many of you have participated by making gifts through the mail or phone campaigns. 

We set a goal to connect with 650 alumni donors this fiscal year. With just 2 weeks go, we are very close to reaching our target. If you have not yet made a gift this year, a donation of any amount will place you on our donor record and put us closer to hitting that goal! We are seeking 40 additional alumni donors by June 30. Can you help? 

Gifts can be made online, by phone at 267-341-5007 or by mail. Checks should be made payable to "Holy Family University" and sent to Holy Family University, Attn: Alumni Office, 9801 Frankford Ave, Philadelphia PA 19114. 

Your contributions make a direct and significant impact on our students and the future of our University. Thank you for all that you do.
