Day of the Don supporting Loyola Blakefield
About Day of the Don
We invite you to join us for our 8th annual Day of the Don, a giving challenge that directly supports all students and their Loyola Blakefield experience.
Every Loyola Don benefits from dollars raised from this effort as the Loyola Fund bolsters co-curricular activities, inspires service and spiritual retreat offerings, and provides critical resources that keep Loyola accessible and affordable for our families. We invite you to make a gift as we continue to build upon our foundation as a second home for past, present, and future Dons.
Join this effort with your gift on (or before) May 6th.
GOAL
Raise $100,000 for Loyola Blakefield from over 500 benefactors.

CHALLENGES
Alumni participation
If we exceed 85 gifts from alumni who graduated from Loyola after 1999, a very generous alumnus from the Class of 2005 has agreed to a President's Circle level gift of $5,000!
Half way home
If we exceed $50,000 and 250 gifts by 2:00pm, a Loyola family with a 2014 graduate, and a Loyola family with a 7th grade Don, have agreed to generous collective gifts totaling $5,000!
Race to the Finish!
When we exceed $75,000 in donations, an anonymous alumni family with multi-generational ties to Loyola has agreed to a major gift of $7,500 to help get us reach our goal!
