The storied rivalry returns as the Boys' Latin and St. Paul's communities compete in the annual Laker—Crusader Challenge, which benefits each school's annual fund.
In the most recent Challenge, our varsity lacrosse team clinched victory on the field, winning the Darrell-Ehrhardt Cup. However, St. Paul's won the Giving Challenge, collecting 498 gifts.
This year, help us beat St. Paul's both on AND off the field by making a gift and showing your support for our Lakers! Each gift made today through Tuesday, May 7, will get us closer to our goal.
Boys' Latin and St. Paul's have been RIVALS FOREVER, yet on May 7, the Lakers and Crusaders will be CHAMPIONS TOGETHER.
If you have already participated in this year’s Laker Fund, we THANK YOU AGAIN!
**Gifts made by mail, via the BL Make A Gift page, and through Venmo @BoysLatinMD will count towards our goal.
Don't forget to watch the game on Tuesday, May 7 at 4:00 PM and cheer on our varsity lacrosse Lakers as they take on the Crusaders at St. Paul’s as they battle to see who will win this year's coveted Darrell-Ehrhardt Cup!
WE DID IT!
The Darrell-Ehrhardt Alumni Cup is officially back at BL thanks to our Lakers triumphant win of 14-5 over the Crusaders!
And thanks to our amazing Laker Community, we have reached our initial goal of 400 gifts in recognition of the historical Laker - Crusader Rivalry! Once again, our communities came together to show that while we will be always be rivals, together we can be champions.
But the game isn't over yet!
While we have officially achieved our goal, there's still time on the clock to see who gets the most donors. Let's see who can get the most donors before the lights go out at midnight!
THANK YOU AGAIN TO EVERYONE THAT HAS ALREADY MADE A GIFT!
It’s the final stretch of the Laker-Crusader Challenge and it's neck and neck, with 364 for BL to 369 for SP! Now is a great time to make a gift in honor of a favorite teacher or coach, to a special program, or just to show your support for our Lakers!
We hope you will join us this afternoon as varsity lacrosse takes on the Crusaders BUT all members of our community have a chance to compete off the field.
We need your support to beat St. Paul's and reach our goal of 400 donors by midnight tonight!
