Regis College’s sixth annual Let It Shine Gala on October 27, 2021, raised nearly $700,000 for scholarships that will help provide greater access to higher education for deserving students. More than 230 people attended the in-person event at the Four Seasons Hotel Boston, chaired by President of Congress Wealth Management and former Regis trustee Paul Lonergan and emceed by Boston radio personality and Regis parent Sue Brady Hartigan. Guests were required to be fully vaccinated to attend. Regis honored trustee Thomas P. O’Neill III (pictured above) with the Shining Example Award for his dedication to public service, Catholic education, and the university. A former state legislator and lieutenant governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, O’Neill’s work has long focused on the intersection of government, business, and nonprofit causes. He was instrumental in Regis’ successful $40 million Now We Fly comprehensive campaign, serving as one of the campaign’s co-chairs. “I’m proud to be part of the family of Regis,” said O’Neill. “The Sisters of Saint Joseph created the mission, and it’s the very same mission today that it was back then. I’m proud to be part of the team and I’m proud to receive this honor.” Since it was launched in 2016, Regis’ Let It Shine Gala has raised more than $4.5 million for student scholarships. “As a member of the Regis community for 35 years—and as president for more than 10 years—I have always known that an investment in Regis students is a strong investment in the future,” said President Antoinette M. Hays, PhD, RN. “Our students graduate with a deep desire to serve others in a way that makes the world a better place for everyone.”
