Tomorrow, March 28, the PC community will come together to make a collective impact in 24 hours. If 1,917 Friars are all in — and raise at least $100,000 — Trustee John A. Cervione ’87 will match this giving day goal with an additional $100,000 to support our students, our programs, our Friar family. Friars Give is OUR chance to be ALL IN. ONE PC.
