We had the immense pleasure of hosting the Ring Out Ring True event for Saint Mary's College, Notre Dame, IN recently, and what a gorgeous and meaningful event!

"Ring Out, Ring True" is a historic $200 million fundraising campaign launched by Saint Mary's College and announced in June 2026. It is the largest campaign in the school's 181-year history, aiming to boost student scholarships, enrich the campus community, and support leadership development. The campaign has already raised more than $180 million during the fundraiser's quiet phase.

Thank you for choosing the Gillespie for your event. We can't wait to hear updates on this historic endeavor!
