In light of the extraordinary circumstances around COVID-19 and our continued focus on ensuring the health, safety, and well-being of our the entire Morningside community, we have decided to delay Morningside Madness. It’s our hope that the circumstances around COVID-19 will significantly improve in the coming weeks, so the event can be a time of celebration. Stay tuned for updates!

 

Morningside Madness is a 36-hour LIVE fundraising event.  These two days are critical. The dollars earned, the energy, the excitement – it’s all for our students. The gifts we receive ensure we can make the Morningside experience everything it has always been and more.

 

To do this, we have two big goals: reach 600 donors with gifts totaling at least $100,000.  To achieve these marks, we need your help.  A gift of any size during this 36-hour period goes a long way.
