Great "Day of Giving" To Be a Cardinal!!!

The inaugural Day of Giving was held in 2016 and raised nearly $100,000 from 894 donors. Ten Day of Giving celebrations have resulted in nearly $3.7M of support from thousands of generous Cardinal donors. We invite you to #ImpactNC and be part of North Central history on February 26, 2026!
