National Holy Cross Cares Day 2013

Holy Cross Cares Day:  Mission in Motion

This spring, alumni, families and friends will put the Holy Cross “mission in motion” by taking part in the 3rd Annual National “Holy Cross Cares Day” throughout March and April. This series of events, a partnership between the Holy Cross Alumni Association and its regional clubs across the country, will bring different generations of Crusaders together for a day of service in their local communities.

Volunteers will rake leaves, clean up playgrounds, tutor schoolchildren and donate items for food pantries. From Boston to San Francisco and from Chicago to Florida, volunteers will show their school pride and support wonderful community causes.  Check out the list of participating regional clubs to find a site near you. 

 **We invite you to watch the video below to see how the HC community puts "mission in motion" every day.
