Cleveland Rivals Unite: Thank you Beaumont Alumnae!

Celebrating Beaumont’s Participation in the Cleveland Rivals Unite Alumnae Giving Challenge

We are thrilled to share the highlights of our recent participation in the inaugural Cleveland Rivals Unite Alumnae Giving Challenge. For three days, April 30-May 2, three all-girls, Catholic high schools - Beaumont School, Magnificat High School, and Saint Joseph Academy – engaged in a friendly competition to support all-girls Catholic education and our respective schools.

Our Beaumont alumnae community showed tremendous support throughout the challenge. Through outreach via social media, emails, and phone calls, we connected with both long-time donors and those contributing for the first time including alumnae from the Class of 1950.

During the challenge, Beaumont buzzed with energy during our spirited phone-a-thon, where students and alumnae came together to make connections and inspire participation. We kept the momentum alive by staying connected with our alumnae through various social media platforms. Together, we encouraged contributions in honor of the impactful faculty members, cherished school spirit, and the enduring bonds formed with fellow classmates.

While Magnificat claimed victory this year, Beaumont secured a commendable 4.48% (325 individual donors) of alumnae participation totaling donations of nearly $28,000. The winning school was based on the percentage of alumnae participation versus the amount of dollars raised. Collectively over three days, Beaumont, Magnificat, and Saint Joseph Academy received gifts from over 1,600 alumnae, raised a total of $132,000, and leveraged broad support for all-girls, Catholic education in Cleveland.

We eagerly anticipate next year's challenge and encourage everyone to look for details about the event. We express our sincere gratitude to our alumnae community for their generous donations and participation. We couldn’t do it without you! Thank you for your continued support of Beaumont and our mission of empowering young women.
