Gala Auction, A Toast to Sion!


Thank you to the many members of the Sion community who made our Annual Gala Auction a huge success - to our alumni, parents, friends, community members, and students - we salute you!
 
On March 7, 2020 at The Westin Kansas City Crown Center, we gathered together to raise funds to ensure that our students receive the best education in an environment that empowers minds, transforms hearts, and creates an impact. With the help of our amazing community we raised over $700,000 to benefit Sion students.

Fund-A-Need 2020

One of the things that allows Notre Dame de Sion to serve students from all areas of Kansas City is our ability to offer families who need financial assistance the means to have their child join our 108 year tradition. This year alone, Sion will dedicate more than $1 million of direct financial assistance. This includes covering the gap between full tuition and the cost to educate each student, meaning every family at Sion receives some level of financial assistance.

View the 2020 Fund-A-Need video to see who benefits from your donation. Without you, students like these would not be able to live the Sion experience.

Thank you to our 2020 Gala Chairs
