Loyola Blakefield is excited to host its signature fundraising event, Blue & Gold, on March 22nd, 2025. The event will take the form of a casual, yet classy, night of dinner, drinks, entertainment, and an opportunity to join Loyola and our community in raising critical funds that support our school, our Loyola Dons, and our faculty and staff.

Throughout the evening, we will honor six educators who have had a lasting impact on the Loyola Blakefield community over many years for their contributions to the Arts or to Mental Health and Wellness at Loyola Blakefield:
