Misericordia University Education Club Raises Money for Global Mercy Girl Initiative
21 Mayo 2024 - 1:00PM
The Misericordia University Education Club, inspired by the Mercy
Girl Challenge introduced by Sr. Pat McCann, has successfully
raised $1,825 for the Mercy Girl Effect initiative. The check was
presented to Sr. Deirdre Mullan during a heartfelt ceremony in
Insalaco Hall on May 2, 2024.
This fundraising achievement was the culmination of a series of
events organized by the club this spring, including a Chick-fil-A
fundraiser and a campus-wide bake sale. Additional contributions
came from personal donations made by the faculty and staff of the
university’s Teacher Education Department.
The presentation event marked a milestone for the club’s
leadership team, Kaitlyn Shatzel, Vivian Wright, Alexandra Pehala,
and Ariana Nolter, under the advisement of Steve Broskoske, Ed.D.,
associate professor and club advisor. Both Sr. Pat McCann and Sr.
Deirdre Mullan attended the ceremony, underscoring the significance
of the initiative and the collective effort of the Misericordia
community, which played a crucial role in this achievement.
Broskoske expressed his pride in the students’ initiative.
“Today’s presentation is a testament to our students’ hard work and
dedication inspired by Sr. Pat McCann’s challenge. Their commitment
has raised substantial funds and awareness for the Mercy Girl
Effect, empowering young women globally.”
