Fourth Annual Drive to 100 Raises $190,000 for our Dons
Thanks to the tremendous generosity of our community, we raised a total of $190,219 for our Dons and their Loyola Blakefield experience during our record-breaking fourth annual Drive to 100 campaign between October 10–14, nearly doubling our goal of $100,000.
We are grateful to the 440+ alumni, current and past families, faculty and staff, members of our Board of Trustees, and friends of Loyola who stepped forward to support this effort. Know that your gifts will enhance the Loyola Blakefield experience for current and future Dons. Due to the success of this campaign, we have also already achieved more than 25% of our Loyola Fund goal for this fiscal year.
Congratulations to Team Blue for winning the competition for a third year in a row. View a breakdown of dollar and donor totals for each team below. Although our community is split into two teams for this annual campaign, the real winners are, of course, our Dons.

Supporting our Dons in Mind, Body, & Spirit
For this year's campaign, we honored those facets of our campus experience which help develop our Dons in Mind, Body, & Spirit. More than 60% of donors designated their gift to one of the six following areas vital to the development of our Dons—Academics, Arts, Athletics, Co-Curriculars, Ignatian Mission, and Access & Affordability. If you have any questions about the designation of your gift, contact Loyola Fund Manager Matt Trebon.
Several members of our school community recently sat down to talk about the importance of each of these areas. If you haven't already done so, we invite you to watch their testimonials via the YouTube playlist below.
