We are so excited to see you at Merrie Market 2026!

We are just three weeks away from our Visitation Merrie Market Auction & Gala: The Greatest Show on Campus"- Every Student, Every Stage, Every Story! See all of the updates in our special flier that went home last week during car line.

There are many ways to participate and support this important Visitation fundraiser:

• Silent and Live Auction donations still needed: Do you have connections with athletic seats, event tickets or specialty products? We are seeking auction donations. You can put together a basket of goodies or donate one of the above needed items. We are also seeking donations through our Amazon Wish List as well as donations of any amount to complete auction packages. Thank you!

• Advertise or Sponsor: Do you own a business? Do you want to sponsor or table? There are both sponsorship and advertising opportunities available for Merrie Market. Review the advertising and sponsorship levels online or call us to discuss!

• Attend and/or Volunteer: Reserve your tickets online for the best show on campus! We will also be sending out opportunities for volunteers in February - watch for details.

• Raffle Tickets: Please sell all of the four raffle tickets sent home to you in December. We could make over $30,000 simply by selling all 5,000 of our raffle tickets! All tickets, sold or unsold, must be returned to the school by February 20, 2026.

We thank you for making an impact and supporting our most critical fundraiser of the year!
