Terrific 2025 Tea for Tuition

What an unforgettable afternoon at our 21st Annual Tea for Tuition! With 300 guests, a festive Derby “Race for the Roses” theme, and an outpouring of generosity, we raised over $66,000 in tuition assistance for current and future Mercy girls. Check out photo gallery by Kristina Sikora here.

We were proud to honor two incredible alumnae!

Distinguished Alumna Joi Harris ’88, President & COO of DTE Energy

Trailblazer Alumna Emily Wilkins ’09, CNBC Washington Correspondent

THANK YOU to everyone who attended, supported, and helped continue this beautiful tradition of empowering young women through a Mercy education!
