What is Spring Spirits? Our club hosts two flagship events each year: Spring Spirits in the spring and Founders’ Day in the fall. These are great events to meet Belles from all years, network and give back. These events are our biggest fundraisers for the Saint Mary’s Chicago East Endowed Scholarship Fund.

At Spring Spirits, we have a silent auction and raffle to raise money for the Saint Mary’s Chicago East Endowed Scholarship Fund. The scholarship is given to Chicago-area Belles. For the 2023-2024 school year, the scholarship awarded $15,900 to three students ($5,300 each).
