TMP-M

The 49th annual Auction for Christian Education (ACE) at Thomas More Prep-Marian schools held April 28 was a phenomenal success.

With everyone's support, we were able to raise $892,000, the most ever.

Item #160, funding for the new Creative Learning Building, raised $525,000. A special thank you is made to the Leo J. and Albina Dreiling Trust for their generous $250,000 match to our Item #160.

A portion of the funds will be used for drainage at the school's football field, and security upgrades. 

The numbers are preliminary as some donations continue to come in.

If you would still like to donate to the Item #160 project, contact the Alumni Office by May 31. 

We at Thomas More Prep-Marian are so blessed to have such a wonderful community and supporters behind us.

We could not have been as successful without the amazing help of each volunteer, donor, attendee, faculty, staff and anyone who supplied the auction with their prayers and donations.

Thank you all for your support of Catholic education in Hays.  Your continued support is the cornerstone of our efforts.

Keep an eye out for updates to the projects being worked on and information regarding the next ACE in 2024 which will be our 50th Anniversary!
