On October 10, 2015, the largest crowd yet enjoyed SHINE, Donnelly College’s annual scholarship event, and raised $225,000 to support student scholarships. A student panel was the highlight of the evening, with students sharing their personal journeys to Donnelly and what motivates them. This year’s SHINE also included a special presentation honoring Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann and celebrating his 10 years as Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas and 40 years as a priest. A photographic slideshow featured memories from his tenure at the Archdiocese. He spoke about his connection to Donnelly and urged the crowd to continue supporting this unique institution. “Donnelly College is a great jewel in the Archdiocese,” he said. “It helps individuals; it creates opportunity for them to develop the gifts and the talents that God has entrusted to them so that they in turn can use those gifts in a way to provide for themselves or their families to become great citizens, great members of church communities, great leaders in our metropolitan area.” | SHINE by the numbers 225K number of dollars raised for student scholarships 600 approximate number of guests in attendance 40 number of years honoree Archbishop Joseph F.
