Proceeds will support the Knight Fund! 

Donations to the Knight Fund impact every student at St. Mary’s Ryken. Private support is vital to what makes the SMR experience extraordinary as it provides the resources our students need to achieve in the classroom, create in the arts, excel in athletics and grow in faith while becoming more compassionate and caring young adults.

This year, the cost to educate each student exceeds tuition by more than $3,000, leaving a gap of $2.5 million that is bridged through philanthropy. Gifts to the Knight Fund at every level are critical to continuing to provide this exceptional educational experience. We are grateful for your support!
