2025 Long Lunch wrap-up

Hosted within the College grounds, the Long Lunch saw alumnae, friends and family come together for an elegant afternoon of conversation, celebration and connection – all in support of the next generation of Woozas.

We’re delighted to share that thanks to your generosity, we raised $26,000 at the Long Lunch. These funds will directly support the Mary Wooza Scholarships, which ease financial barriers, and the Alumnae Awards Scholarships, which celebrate and support leadership. This is an extraordinary outcome, and we are so grateful to everyone who contributed through donations, raffle tickets, and auction bids.

Thank you to our generous supporters

The Long Lunch Major Raffle & Auction accompanied the event, with over $20,000 in prizes generously donated by local businesses, supporters and alumnae.
