Together, we light the way for what's possible!

Marian Benefit Evening is our biggest fundraiser of the year, uniting our community in support of our teachers, programs, and students. Your generosity strengthens our school and helps us create new opportunities for the young women who call Marian home & for generations to come.

A special thank you to the MBE Event Chairs:  Rachel Leith, Megan Dale Shea ’00,  and Mary Wenzel.
