Cleveland Rivals Unite

Since 2024, the Cleveland Rivals Unite Alumnae Giving Challenge has been bringing together Magnificat, Saint Joseph Academy, and Beaumont School in support of all-girls Catholic education. Over three days in April, alumnae are invited to step up to 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 takes home the win.

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. Check back for details about the 2027 Challenge!
