Battle of the Decades

Ursuline needs you — and your decade does too!

Join Battle of the Decades and help unlock a $75,000 alumnae match by reaching 1,000 gifts. Watch the leaderboard, answer the call on Phonathon Day April 21, and help finish strong at Alumnae Day.

The competition is on. Which decade will claim the trophy?

Battle of the Decades brings Ursuline alumnae together in a spirited giving challenge that celebrates connection, tradition, and the lasting impact of a UA education.

Last year, the 1990s claimed the title. This year, every decade has a chance to rise to the top.

The Goal

• The decade with the most alumnae donors earns the Battle of the Decades trophy and yearlong bragging rights.

• Participation matters most. Every gift counts, regardless of size.

• This year, the stakes are even higher. Five anonymous alumnae donors from across the decades have committed a $75,000 matching gift. If 1,000 donors make a gift by the end of the competition, the match will be unlocked for The Ursuline Fund.

Battle Begins: April 20, 2026
