TMP Auction for Christian Education (ACE)

The Alumni Association of Thomas More Prep Marian is proud to sponsor the 52nd Annual Auction for Christian Education (ACE).

From the very first auction in 1975 to 2025, ACE has raised $14,552,846.91.

The Hays business community, TMP-Marian parents, alumni, and friends, along with the Capuchin Friars, Agnesian Sisters, and the Diocese of Salina, have worked together for many years to keep the dream of a Catholic educational option alive.  Thanks to you, our alumni, and many others in the business and professional community, ACE remains a testament to your support and belief in our mission.

In recognition of our nation’s 250th birthday in 2026, we reflect on the values that have shaped both our country and our Catholic tradition—trust, optimism, service, and a commitment to forming future leaders. This year, we unite around an ambitious and meaningful goal: raising one million dollars to strengthen and expand Catholic education. Together, let us celebrate a quarter-millennium of American resilience while investing in the young people who will guide its next chapter.

THEME: “God Shed His GrACE on Thee” with our gracious ACE 2026 hosts:  Curtis & Annette Hammeke and Travis & Pam Grizzell.

We invite all previous donors to favor us again with quality item(s) for the auction and ask new donors to be as generous as your situation permits. It takes a large variety of gifts to make this event a success. We are counting on your support to help Hays Catholic Schools. An early response will allow quick progress towards the success of ACE 2026.   The Alumni Association Board thanks you in advance for your contributions and asks for continued prayers for the success of our auction. God Bless and GO MONARCHS!
