Marywood University’s flagship annual fundraising event, Celebrate Marywood, took place May 7. The outdoor celebration, held in the Motherhouse and Seminary Morgan Memorial Garden, marked a significant milestone by raising more than $466,000 to support the renovation and transformation of the Center for Natural & Health Sciences. Since its inception in 2014, the event has raised over $4.6 million, with the 2026 total setting a new benchmark. Proceeds will fund the renovation and transformation of the Center for Natural & Health Sciences into a state-of-the-art facility supporting nursing, physician assistant, pre-med and science programs, including upgraded laboratory spaces, enhanced classrooms and advanced simulation environments. The event’s entertainment featured dueling pianos by the Philly Keys and fireworks on campus. Marywood honored the service and community contributions of Virginia Doherty McGregor and the Rev. Thomas Muldowney with the Inspire Award. From left are McGregor, Marywood President Lisa A. Lori, J.D., Muldowney and Celebrate Marywood Chair Michael E. Bugno.
