Day of the Don supporting Loyola Blakefield
Loyola Blakefield

About Day of the Don (2022)

We invite you to join us for our Fifth Annual Day of the Don, a 24-hour giving challenge that directly supports our students and their Loyola Blakefield experience.

Whether it's our state-of-the-art facilities, our world-class teachers, or our one-of-a-kind academic, co-curricular, athletic, and spiritual formation programming, our campus has served as a second home to more than 15,000 young men over the years. From sunrise to sunset, you will find Dons throughout campus following inspiration, collaborating, and serving others as St. Ignatius called us all to do.

We are proud to partner with families in helping so many young men find their voice by providing them with the space and resources to ignite their passions. We are also overjoyed when alumni return to campus and recount stories of their days here with their Loyola family—often referring to their classmates as brothers and former teachers and coaches as mentors.

This year, we invite you to make a gift on May 10th to show your support as we continue to build upon our foundation as a second home for past, present, and future Dons.

GOAL


Raise $75,000 for the Loyola Fund from over 300 supporters in 24 hours.
