Events

Welcome to 2020 at The Catholic University of America, a year of incredible challenges that have exposed our community's fortitude, resilience, and generosity.

During this biennial event, we honor the extraordinary work and service of Catholic University's most distinguished alumni and other deserving individuals.

Imagine alumni, parents, students, faculty, staff, and friends of Catholic University uniting for a day to volunteer in their communities. Although separated geographically, we can serve as one. Our bond would be stronger than the distances that separate us. Our sum would be greater than our parts. Our impact would be truly awesome.

Celebrate the founding of The Catholic University of America by participating in our annual day of giving!

The Senior Class Gift represents a class's legacy, demonstrating what members of a class can achieve when they unite in pursuit of a common purpose. This year, the students on the Student Philanthropy Council ask the Class of 2021 to participate in the renovation of Caldwell Chapel, the spiritual heart of campus.

Ten reunion classes compete for awards in four categories. The winning classes bolster their legacies and earn bragging rights for the next five years. Can you and your classmates rise to the challenge?

On the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, consider making  The Catholic University of America a philanthropic priority during the giving season. Be a part of a larger cause by making a gift to the University and sharing your support on social media.

Who would win between football and basketball? Lacrosse and tennis? Golf and volleyball? We’ll never have a definitive answer, but with the Cardinal Athletics Giving Challenge, we level the playing field so that the varsity sports can compete against each other.

In collaboration with the Athletics Department, we recognize and honor alumni and coaches who made distinguished contributions to varsity athletics at Catholic University.

Cardinal Weekend is our annual homecoming and reunion extravaganza. We encourage all alumni, parents, faculty, staff, and students to join us for this largest gathering of The Catholic University of America's extended family.
