Over the last few weeks, our generous alumni, family and friends have invested more than $200,000 in the success of Loyola's current and future student-athletes. We can't thank you enough for the outpouring of enthusiasm and generosity! Your efforts, in support of the Hounds, have not only generated financial strength and stability for our programs, but showed just how much this community really cares about their Loyola Greyhounds student-athletes!
Now, the University will work to calculate our final results by processing all contributions from both our Loyola Athletics Giving Challenge and Greyhounds Give. We look forward to announcing our winners - the programs with the most unique donors, most dollars raised, most donors on March 18, and top the Challenge advocate - very soon!
Thank you for making the seventh annual Loyola Athletics Giving Challenge an incredible success!
