Leading with Loyalty

Will you consider joining a special group of Loyola friends in leading the way?

Last year, a group of generous lead donors pooled together leadership gifts to create a Challenge Gift of $250,000, which was unlocked when our goal of 824 donors was reached. Leadership gifts designated for Loyola Loyal Day made before March 1st count towards the Loyola Loyal Day challenge gift. These gifts energize the Loyola community on Loyola Loyal Day. If you would like to discuss a leadership gift please book a meeting with a member of Loyola's Development team today!
