This year the Mendel Alumni Association paid $18,750 in Legacy Awards to twenty descendants of Mendel Monarchs with scholarships ranging from $500 to $1,250.   We hope to at least match, if not exceed these amounts in 2027.

All Mendel Alumni, Friends & Families are asked to donate as generously as possible to this extremely important endeavor. 

You also are asked to consider including the Mendel Alumni Association in your will.  You can specify where these funds are used by the Mendel Alumni Association.

It will be easier than ever to remember the Appeal dates this year because the 2026 Gregor Mendel Appeal will start on Thanksgiving Day, which is November 26, 2026 and will run for thirty-seven days until New Years Day, January 1, 2027 in honor of Mendel Catholic High School’s thirty-seven year history.
