Thanks to all who joined us for our first-ever virtual Blue & Gold on the evening of Saturday, March 20, as we "Rolled Back to the '80s." Special thanks to Mateen Kane ’21 for serving as our enthusiastic host, to Katie and Tim Kuhn P '14, '16, '18, '24, for serving as chairs, and to all those who served on our awesome sponsorship committee. Overall, the event
raised more than $330,000, which provides valuable financial assistance to families and bolsters academic, co-curricular, and spiritual programming for every Loyola student.
