The Lions Mane Event
Around the World! on campus in NDCL’s McGarry Gymnasium
Saturday, March 21, 2026
With more than 275 attendees and the support of over 20 dedicated student volunteers, the event showcased the spirit and generosity that define Notre Dame Schools. Guests enjoyed international cuisine and lively entertainment from the Chardon Polka Band, all while supporting a meaningful cause.
Thanks to the incredible generosity of our guests, sponsors, and supporters, the event raised over $250,000—making it a record-breaking year. A highlight of the evening, the paddle raise, will directly benefit the Holy Family Fund and STEM initiatives, helping to provide vital resources and opportunities for our students.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who attended, contributed, and helped make this event such a remarkable success.
