2014-15 President's Report

CARSON MATCH STIMULATES
GIVING AT THE COLLEGE
In fall 2015, generous benefactors and longtime Marymount Manhattan
supporters Judith ’03, H’13 and Russell Carson pledged $2.7 million in
a 1:2 match: for every two dollars that donors give MMC, the Carsons
will give one dollar. This extraordinary challenge, known as the Carson
Match, is intended to sustain the educational excellence for which the
College is known and to stimulate giving across many constituencies.
The theme of the Carson Match is Now More Than Ever, a phrase used
by President Kerry Walk in her inaugural address, Light and Liberty.
“We need you now more than ever, and we invite you to come home,”
President Walk told a packed house of MMC alumni, friends, and
distinguished guests at the inauguration celebration in October 2015.
The goal of Phase 1 of the Carson Match, Welcoming Our New
President, is a total of $1 million. We are pleased to announce that this
goal has been surpassed thanks to the generosity of alumni, trustees,
friends, parents, faculty, and staff who have proudly shown their
commitment to the College. Contributions to the Annual Fund support
student scholarships, distinguished faculty chairs, academic initiatives,
campus improvements, and other areas of greatest need.
The College extends heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to the
Carsons for their continued partnership with, and dedication to,
Marymount Manhattan—and to all who have been motivated by the
Carsons to give.
