Merrie Market Gala & Auction is Visitation School's largest community-driven fundraiser, supporting every Vis student. Here at Visitation, education is Non Scholae, Sed Vitae – not for school, but for life; your generosity helps to ensure the continued success of our school and that of our students. Proceeds from Merrie Market go directly into Visitation's operating budget and support some of our most important programs, including scholarships, academics, spiritual learning, athletics, and the arts.
Thank you for your support!
Dear Visitation School Community,
With full hearts, we extend our gratitude for your presence and generosity at Merrie Market 2026. The spirit of Visitation School was alive throughout the evening. It was truly "The Greatest Show on Campus," and we are so grateful for each and every one of you.
A heartfelt thank you to our incredible event chairs Julie Conzemius, Brigid Ryan Ling '97, Holly Nesse and Emily Tong-Lakatos. Your hard work and leadership made this evening possible.
One of the most meaningful parts of the night was coming together to support this year's Special Appeal for Tuition Assistance. If you were unable to join us, we invite you to watch and share this special video, which captures the profound impact of a Visitation education. If you feel called to give, you can do so securely; your generosity helps open doors for our students and strengthens our mission.
Thank you for believing in our students, for supporting our mission, and for being part of this extraordinary Visitation community.
With heartfelt appreciation,
Dr. Jennifer Bigelow
Head of School
