2026 TEA FOR TUITION SUCCESS

What a beautiful celebration at the Mercy High School Alumnae Association’s 22nd Annual Tea for Tuition! With 300 guests, a lively Race for the Roses Derby theme, and incredible generosity, our community came together to raise over $73,000 in tuition assistance for current and future Mercy girls.

We were honored to celebrate Distinguished Alumna Jennifer Jackson ’93 and Trailblazer Alumna Kelly Redmond ’12. Thank you for the ways you continue to lead and make a difference.

A special note of gratitude to Sarah & Steven Jackson, our Distinguished Sponsor, whose generous $10,000 matching gift inspired giving and amplified our impact for Mercy girls.

Thank you to Meredith Green Merucci '18 for sharing her inspirational Mercy story. We are so appreciative to everyone who attended, supported, and helped carry on this special tradition!

ABOUT THE ALUMNAE TEA FOR TUITION

The Alumnae Association gathers for a springtime tea to ensure bright futures for Mercy girls by raising money for tuition assistance. Each year, the Alumnae Association awards approximately $40,000 in funds to support students in need of financial assistance. It is our mission to pay a Mercy education forward and continue to educate Women Who Make a Difference.

"No work of charity can be more productive of good to society than the careful instruction of women." The Venerable Catherine McAuley, Founder of the Sisters of Mercy
