The Impact of the President's Council
The generosity of President’s Council donors is vital to ensuring the high quality of today's educational experience for students and advancing the mission of Holy Cross for years to come.
- more than 2,000 alumni, parents and friends are PC-level donors
- Over 50 years of President's Council giving
- More than 70% of annual giving is generated by President's Council
- Almost 80% of all gifts to the College are generated by President's Council
Taken individually, each supporter makes an instrumental impact; considered together, this group has been monumental in helping to ensure that the College’s transformational Jesuit education is available to all students and our mission remains strong.
Recognition
Donors at the President’s Council level are invited to attend special social occasions and interesting webinars and provided access to premier parking as thanks for their generous and loyal support.
Invitation Only Events
President's Council donors receive invitations to exclusive events such as our Annual Reception, Parent's Leadership Reception, Reunion Weekend Reception and PC Insider Webinars.
Premier Parking & Tailgating
Football season ticket holders who are also President’s Council donors (at the Patron-level and above to the Holy Cross Fund or Crusader Athletics Fund) are eligible to purchase a Premier Lot season parking pass for all home football games (while supplies last). Enjoy easy access to the stadium and shorter entry lines. Please note, you must contact tickets@holycross.edu to inquire about availability as there are limited spaces available. Becoming a President’s Council Patron-level donor does not guarantee Premier Lot parking passes. If you have any questions or concerns please contact the Athletics Ticket Office at 844-GOCROSS (844-462-7677) today.
