Founders' Day is our annual celebration to celebrate the founding of Saint Mary's College and all things Saint Mary's. All donations help us fund the annual scholarship that we give to Saint Mary's Chicago-area students each year. For the 2023-2024 school year, the Saint Mary’s Chicago East Endowed Scholarship awarded $5,300 to three Chicago-area Belles (total distributed: $15,900).

We are excited to offer an online auction for Founders' Day this year to include club members who may not have been able to attend the event.

Items can be picked up in person (free) or shipped to the winner (shipping will be paid by the winner). Additionally, you can pay for your item via PayPal, Venmo or Zelle. We will coordinate with all winners on how they would like to pay for and receive their items.
