Misericordia University to Host Silver Soirée®

Misericordia University will celebrate the 25th anniversary of its Ruth Matthews Bourger Women with Children Program with a formal gala event on Saturday, Sept. 13, from 5 to 10 p.m. at the Irem Temple Country Club Pavilion in Dallas.

The Silver Soirée® will honor the legacy and impact of the nationally recognized program, which empowers economically disadvantaged single mothers to earn college degrees by providing access to higher education, housing, childcare, and a supportive campus community.

The evening will include dinner, live entertainment by Tim Noble and Mike Walton Entertainment, a silent auction, and a special program recognizing those who have played a pivotal role in the program’s success. Honorees include Sister Jean Messaros, RSM, founder of the Women with Children Program; Mrs. Flo DePolo; and Rob Friedman and the Friedman Family.
