About This Year’s Theme Interchange 48 celebrates the call from our patron saint, Ignatius of Loyola, to Go forth and set the world on fire. Together, we will continue to kindle the spark within each of our young men with the passion for service and social justice in our world.
What Is Interchange? The Interchange auction is Loyola High School’s largest annual social event and the MOST IMPORTANT school fundraiser of the year. In 1973, Fr. Patrick Cahalan, SJ, Loyola’s President at the time, started the auction and called it “Interchange” because he believed the term was reflective of both Loyola’s location and its student body. Based in the heart of Los Angeles, Loyola is the “interchange” where people from every socio-economic, cultural and geographic corner come together. Members of our student body come from over 200 zip codes in the greater Los Angeles area each day.
Where Do the Proceeds Go? The funds raised from Interchange are crucial to the mission of Loyola. In keeping with the vision of St. Ignatius to make education accessible to all students, Loyola underwrites a quarter of all tuition costs and provides additional financial aid for almost 30 percent of the student population. The proceeds from Interchange fund scholarships for those students who would be unable to attend Loyola. It is because of Interchange that Loyola is able to keep tuition within the reach of so many young men deserving of the transformative power of a Jesuit education.
Proceeds from Interchange support financial aid and the overall mission of Loyola High School.
