Blue & Gold: Toasting Ignatian Educators Raises Over $350,000

This year's Blue & Gold: Toasting Ignatian Educators event raised over $350,000 to support the Visual Arts Department and Mental Health and Wellness resources for our Dons. This remarkable achievement reflects our community's commitment and generosity in nurturing every student's creative expression and emotional well-being.

It was an evening of elegance and celebration, including premium open bars, signature cocktails, an upscale seated dinner, and live entertainment . Attendees gathered to honor six esteemed faculty and staff members who have significantly contributed to the legacy of Ignatian education at Loyola Blakefield.

As part of this year’s program, we are honored to celebrate and recognize the following Ignatian educators for their contributions to the Arts and Mental Health and Wellness at Loyola.
