Alumnae
Cleveland Rivals Unite
The Cleveland Rivals Unite Alumnae Giving Challenge is back for the third year, with Magnificat, Saint Joseph Academy, and Beaumont School teaming up to champion all-girls Catholic education. From April 28-30, 2026, alumnae are invited to step up to the plate, show their school spirit, and make a gift to their alma mater’s annual fund. The school with the highest percentage of alumnae who participate will take home the win.
Last year, 490 donors rallied to contribute a total of $45,000 to the Magnificat Fund during the challenge. Yet even with that strong showing, alumnae participation still trails that of boys’ schools. The Cleveland Rivals Unite Alumnae Giving Challenge aims to strengthen the philanthropic power of Catholic girls’ schools, joining similar friendly competitions taking place across Ohio and around the country.
