Sister Claire Young, HM, Athletics Fund Launched

Building on this commitment, Magnificat has launched a new initiative designed to identify and fund the greatest needs in athletics and wellness, positioning the school to become the preeminent leader in girls’ high school athletics while remaining firmly rooted in its Mission. A fund honoring Sister Claire Young, HM, who passionately advocated for athletics and the importance of fitness for young women at Magnificat and surrounding schools has been created for all gifts in support of this initiative: the Sister Claire Young, HM, Athletics Fund.

 

A Vision for Girls’ Athletics
This initiative reflects a clear and ambitious vision: to elevate girls’ sports through elite health, wellness, and athletic performance programs that support every student—whether she is a varsity athlete, a developing competitor, or a student discovering fitness and wellness for the first time.

The greatest needs to be addressed through this initiative will be identified through an ongoing collaboration between school leadership and the Athletic Department. This flexible, mission-driven approach ensures that investments remain responsive to student needs, safety, and opportunities for growth.
