Young Alumni Challenge
——The 2024 Annual Fund——

Welcome to the 2024 Young Alumni Challenge! For the ninth consecutive year, members of the youngest 16 alumni classes will go head-to-head in a bracket-style single-elimination tournament. All proceeds benefit the Annual Fund, the most important stream of income for Regis High School that covers the majority of our operating expenses as a tuition-free school. It’s often the first time alums have the chance to help support our school and “pay it forward” for the next generation of Regians.

Class years have been divided into 4 regions, each with its own seeding: Tunnel, Chapel, Roof, and Quad. The chart to the right shows our seeding and regions, and the bracket below shows our matchups. In each matchup, the class with the higher participation rate will advance to the next round. Additionally, the class that raises the most amount of money overall in each round will win either a JUG Night drink ticket (for classes out of college) or a $5 discount at the Regis store (for classes still in college) for each contributing participant.

The first round of the challenge, the Spirited Sixteen, runs from March 13 to March 26. Make your gift today to help your class win its first-round match-up! The minimum donation per round is $5 for the Classes of 2020-2023 and $10 for all other classes.

The grand prize of the tournament is the legendary YAC Winners BBQ which will be held at Regis this summer! We will announce the exact date later this spring. The winners will also have their class immortalized on the YAC Champions Plaque at Regis. 

The Annual Fund runs from July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024.

Join the Order of the Owl!

The Order of the Owl is a giving society of dedicated Regis supporters. Understanding the financial obstacles facing young alumni, Regis scales down giving levels for more recently graduated classes to encourage participation in this society.

The chart to the right shows the giving threshold for your class as well as a monthly breakdown of this donation over the next year. Your membership in the Order of the Owl will count towards your class's participation totals for every round of March Magis. It will also score you an invitation to the annual Deo et Patriae reception in the Fall, a wonderful celebration of Regis attended by some of Regis's most generous donors from a variety of fields. Click below to visit our giving page to donate or pledge to donate your Order of the Owl gift over the course of the next year.
