Seventh Annual Drive to 175 Exceeds Goal Thanks to Generous Loyola Community

Thanks to the tremendous generosity of the entire Loyola Blakefield community, our annual Drive to 175 campaign was a resounding success — raising $181,852, surpassing our original goal of $175,000!

From alumni and current families to faculty, staff, trustees, and friends of Loyola, 344 donors came together to show what it truly means to be a Don. Your generosity jumpstarts another strong year of giving and directly enhances the Loyola experience for today’s students and future generations. 

The friendly competition between Team Blue and Team Gold once again brought out the Don spirit. Congratulations to Coach Jackie Andrews and Team Blue for claiming this year’s victory! A special shoutout also goes to Coach Justin White and Team Gold for their spirited effort and enthusiasm throughout the campaign, as well as Brayden Hicks '26 for keeping our community informed throughout the week.

While the teams may have competed for bragging rights, the true winners are, of course, the Dons of Loyola Blakefield. Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this year’s Drive to 175 one to remember!
