President's Dinner

61st Annual President's Dinner Honors A Family for Others

Friday, November 2, was a great night for Loyola Academy as we celebrated the 61st annual President's Dinner. Approximately 650 members of the Loyola community—including a great showing of young alumni, current and graduate parents, faculty, staff and friends—gathered at Wintrust's Grand Banking Hall in downtown Chicago to honor the Barbara and Robert P. Perkaus Jr. '54 Family, recipients of the Rev. Daniel A. Lord, SJ, Award for Distinguished Service in the Cause of Youth.
Guests enjoyed food stations from around the globe and live music by Orchestra 33. View this photo gallery to experience the fun, excitement and camaraderie of the President's Family Mass and President's Dinner. Watch this video as Bob Perkaus '54 accepts the Rev. Daniel A. Lord, SJ, Award on behalf of the Perkaus Family at the President's Family Mass.
