Alumnae Events

Nearly 50 alumnae returned to campus in March for the 2025 Alumnae Empowerment Fair. Coinciding with Women’s History Month and Magnificat’s Empowerment Week, the event connected Magnificat graduates in a variety of professions with current students curious about potential career paths. Alumnae answered students’ questions, shared advice from their own experiences, and networked with each other during the lunch. Thank you who all who participated!

Blue Streaks, Bags, and Bingo

More than 1,000 attendees over two nights played Bingo for the chance to win designer handbags at the fourth annual Blue Streaks, Bags, and Bingo fundraiser, hosted by the Magnificat Alumnae Board. Guests arrived with decorations, hors d’oeuvres, and costumes to compete for the best theme and entered raffles—all for a great cause. Thank you to all sponsors, donors, and attendees!

Cleveland Rivals Unite Alumnae Giving Challenge

The second annual Cleveland Rivals Unite Alumnae Giving Challenge brought together graduates of Magnificat, Beaumont School, and Saint Joseph Academy to garner support for all-girls, Catholic education in the region.

The winner was determined by which school had the highest percentage of alumnae donate to its annual fund. While Magnificat won in 2024, this year Beaumont came out on top. Still, the Magnificat alumnae community showed generous support and raised a total of $42,000 over three days. Alumnae from around the country participated, and many followed the school’s progress on social media as updates and videos were shared, including an appeal from Vice President of Mission Emerita Sister Helen Jean Novy, HM.

On the last day of the Challenge, alumnae from all three schools convened at Great Lakes Brewing in Ohio City for a happy hour gathering.

“It was so fun to see the many connections between alumnae of all three schools,” said Director of Alumnae Relations Caitlin MacBride Berg ’10. “Many have family or professional ties, highlighting how we are all truly friends more than rivals. Thank you to the many alumnae who participated and made this year’s Challenge a big success!”
