Park School of Baltimore Alumni

We had a wonderful and sunny day for Saturday in the Park this weekend! With the Bruins Fun Run, face painting, canoeing, and so much more, it was so great to come together on our beautiful campus for this annual community-wide event!

We did it! Not only did Park secure the Rivalry Day Cup for the sixth time in eight attempts, but 153 alumni made gifts to The Park Fund in honor of our amazing Upper School athletes and teams, surpassing our goal of 149 gifts. Thank you to everyone who participated. To support the Bruins both on and off the field, visit www.parkschool.net/giving to make your gift today.

We only need 15 more gifts to reach our goal of 149 alumni gifts for our Rivalry Day challenge. Help us cheer on the 140 Upper School athletes and 9 teams defending the den this Saturday, September 28 by making your Park Fund gift today. Find us on Venmo () or give online at: https://parkschool.net/giving/

Thank you, Boys’ Varsity Soccer team and our Park soccer alums, for a hard fought match! The “old guys” emerged victorious with a final score of 2-0. No alum injuries, which is always a victory. Great to see so many alums back on the field at Park. Good luck to all of our Bruins this fall!
