2021 Virtual Trustee Benefit

Dominican University’s Virtual Trustee Benefit was held on April 21, 2021. Friends, donors, and alumnae/i celebrated Dominican from the comfort of their own homes and raised over $360,000 in support of scholarships for our talented and hard-working students. 

The hour-long signature event featured appearances from prior Benefit artists Audra McDonald, Nathan Gunn, Megan Hilty and Ben Vereen, in addition to inspiring stories from students and alumnae/i. Additionally, Dominican Board Chairman Thomas D. Abrahamson announced the creation of an endowed scholarship in Donna's name as a tribute to her leadership. To date, more than $1 million has been raised for the Donna M. Carroll Scholarship Fund.
