Honoring Tradition, Igniting Tomorrow


March 29, 2025

Thank you so much for joining us to celebrate Fontbonne’s 70th Anniversary Gala. On behalf of the entire Fontbonne community, we are truly grateful for your presence and support. The evening was a beautiful celebration of community, inspiration, and gratitude—honoring seven decades of shaping women of courage.

Couldn’t attend the gala? You can still make a meaningful impact—give today to support Fontbonne.
