Girls Night Out (GNO) is a fundraiser
to empower the girls of Marian Middle School.
For over a decade, GNO has generated a popularity for empowering women leaders to help Marian break the cycle of poverty for girls through transformational education - all within a powerful networking event. After two years of successful virtual GNO events, we are excited to return to the Charles Knight Center at Washington University for an amazing in-person Girls Night Out!
During the event, you will hear from current students and Marian alumnae, have a chance to network with influential empowering business women from across the region, and support Marian Girls!
Last year, with your support, we successfully surpassed our Fund-A-Need goal of $20,000 to support Marian's Food and Nutrition Program for the entire school year.
This year, we are hoping to surpass that goal again and raise another $20,000 - enough to provide girls with breakfast, lunch and snacks the entire school year! That's the equivalent of just $294 per girl!
As female leaders, we have the power - and the responsibility - to Light The Way for young girls of ALL backgrounds as they reach for the stars and fulfill their dreams. Together we are Educating Girls For Life! Join us for an amazing event that will ignite your ambition and brighten the pathways to success for Marian Girls.
IMPACT
For more than 20 years, Marian has provided life-changing education and care to 300 girls and counting. Join us for an amazing event that will leave you empowered and revitalized to continue making a positive impact on behalf of Marian Girls.

Parking Information
To alleviate traffic build-up on Throop Drive when entering the event, we encourage ticket groups to carpool if possible, and consider arriving slightly before the event (anytime between 5 and 5:30). Anyone parking in the garage at 5 p.m. or later will receive free parking.
Parking is located in the Millbrook garage. Please remember to take a parking ticket, as you must have it to get the gate up and get free parking when you leave the garage.
Before and during the event itself, our Development Team will be busy preparing a great program for our guests. If you have immediate needs, please text Kristin Gumper at (314) 630-5459, and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
We can't wait to see you tonight for our in-person event. Thank you for your support.
