From this vantage point, she has witnessed how young women are impacted by a Sacred Heart education. Peggy is committed to furthering Sacred Heart’s mission, and she uses all available resources to do so. “As a retiree from a major corporation, I am fortunate to have retained access to a corporate matching gift. Matching gifts are such an easy way to double the benefit of a gift! I encourage everyone to check into their employer’s matching gifts program and take advantage of it whenever possible.” Pat Horrigan Creahan ’73 worked with Peggy and the Class of 1973 reunion committee to set a goal of establishing an endowed scholarship as they celebrated the 50th anniversary of their graduation in 2023. While the goal initially felt daunting, the classmates were committed to making SHA accessible to future generations of girls. Peggy’s matching gift helped push them well over their goal. As a result, the class of 1973 looks forward to proudly presenting their first scholarship to a member of the class of 2028. Alumnae Giving Buffalo Academy of the Sacred Heart’s Annual Loyalty Fund was established by alumnae as a means to give future generations of young women the opportunity to access a transformative education. The Academy is deeply grateful for the generosity of our graduates and their commitment to today’s students. The Class of 1973 A Perfect Match
