Event Detail
Ramblers Rally Day
Ramblers Rally Day is Loyola's Day of Giving, a special opportunity for the Loyola community to rally around the Annual Fund so that our students experience an exceptional Jesuit education at Loyola Academy.
Why is Loyola’s Giving Day on May 20?
On May 20, 1521, a cannonball shattered the legs of St. Ignatius during the Battle of Pamplona. This traumatic injury marks the beginning of Ignatius’ spiritual journey and the great conversion of his life from soldier to servant of Christ. Over 500 years later, this event and its aftermath continue to inspire. A “cannonball moment” has henceforth come to refer to any experience that leaves one profoundly transformed—with a fresh perspective and a renewed sense of mission or purpose.
Gifts in support of Ramblers Rally Day can be made at goramblers.org/give.
