Events

ALUMNI HOMECOMING EVENT On October 11, Notre Dame welcomed over 300 alumni back to campus for a Homecoming celebration and football game. Alumni and their families gathered together under a large tent for a pre-game celebration where they enjoyed great food, cocktails, and conversations with old friends. Once the party was over everyone went off into the stadium to watch the Irish dominate Steinert High School under the lights. It was a “Friday Night Lights” celebration at its best.

CASH BINGO Notre Dame held our first-ever Cash BINGO on October 18. 150 of our parents, alumni, faculty, and staff members, as well as members of our community, gathered together in the Student Center for some good old-fashioned fun. Father Jason Parzynski, our ND School Chaplain led the call for an evening filled with laughter and good times for all.

ALUMNI NETWORKING EVENT The Notre Dame Board of Governors hosted its second Alumni Networking Event on October 17 in the ND Student Center. This wonderful business social event offered guests informative and insightful perspectives on developing 21st century business leaders. It was a valuable opportunity to interact with and catch up with fellow alumni. Kevin Nerwinski, Esq. ’83, Municipal Manager/Director of Public Safety for the Township of Lawrence, moderated the panel of speakers that included Camille West ’87 Hymes, Regional Vice President Mid-Atlantic, Starbucks; Tom McManimon ’77, President, StimulusBrand Communications; Brian O’Reilly ’85, Executive Vice President & CMO, Philadelphia Insurance Companies; Joe Pratico ’06, Associate Director, Talent Acquisition, Verizon and Kevin Wortham ’83, Co-Founder & Executive Director, Minding Our Business.

ANNUAL HARVEST MOON AUCTION The Notre Dame Annual Auction was held at The Trenton Country Club in West Trenton, NJ on November 16. We honored our favorite student, alumna, teacher, and administrator Mary Liz Fitzpatrick ‘72 Ivins for her 40 years of dedicated service to our students. It was a wonderful evening filled with friends gathering together and bidding for a good cause. The Auction raised $60,000 in support of ND.

NYC ALUMNI GATHERING The last event of the 2019-2020 season that we were able to host was our annual New York City Alumni Reception. This event was held on March 6 at Stout’s NYC in midtown. 30 alumni came together to reminisce with some of Notre Dame’s favorite teachers, see some old friends, and make connections with some new ones.
