We’re excited to announce that this year, our Alumni Giving Challenge will run alongside Spirit Week as a March Madness-style battle of the decades that we’re calling, Buckley’s Big Dance! Get your Battle of the Decades Challenge Brackets here!

From March 16th to March 20th, Griffins of each decade will compete in challenges to see who has the most GRIFFIN PRIDE as we come together to support the future of Buckley. The more gifts that come in, the more likely your decade is to win the title of Most Spirited Decade or Most Philanthropic Decade and get us to our goal of 126 donors and $20,000 raised!
