CSB Give Day is Oct. 11. Let's see what a difference a day can make!
MAKE A GIFT TODAY |
There is never a bad day to give to Saint Ben's in support of scholarships for today's Bennies. But on one special day in October alumnae, friends, parents, faculty ... everyone comes together for the year's biggest and best day of giving.

Celebrate Bennie Day Your Own Bennie Way
Show the world your Saint Ben’s spirit this year on Thursday, Oct. 12, with some Bennie Day fun! Bennie Day is a day of camaraderie started by students over 20 years ago to honor school pride and acknowledge how special it is to be a part of the CSB community. Held during Homecoming week each year, we continue to celebrate on campus and with Bennie alumnae near and far!

Virtual:
Join Bennies everywhere for a virtual session with Dr. Carol Bruess, First Lady - CSB and SJU, Professor Emeritus, University of St. Thomas and Relationship Social Scientist and Author. Dr. Bruess will share the intriguing social science on the power of female connections. You’ll learn about the sometimes-surprising role women’s relationships play in our lives and leave with concrete ideas about how and why you should create and sustain rituals of connection with the women in your lives, no matter your age or stage. Why? Because research shows (spoiler alert): It might just be the single best predictor of how long you’ll live.
