An alum called early Wednesday morning and asked if they could make a #GivingTuesday donation to round up our day of giving to an even $15,000!  We couldn’t keep this news to ourselves.

Good news like this is becoming a trend at the Castle.

The city, and the nation, is paying attention to the positive momentum happening on Hackberry. In the last 24 months, and especially in the last four months, local and national news outlets have shared countless stories of what’s happening at Purcell Marian.

With so much positive news coming from the Castle, we wanted to make sure you were in the know on anything you might have missed!
