Events to Support BG

The Christopher Griffin ’79 Memorial Golf Tournament was founded by a handful of individuals that believed in preserving the memory of a dear friend and alumnus, Chris Griffin. From humble beginnings in 1987, the BGAA Griffin Memorial Golf Tournament has flourished as one of the premier events held in late summer. The money raised supports the Christopher Griffin ’79 Memorial Scholarship Fund, one of the largest scholarships awarded to a graduating senior from the BG community. 

The Walk-A-Thon is a school-wide, student fundraising event. Started in 1992, the money raised continues to go directly back into the school and its students. Each year students have raised funds to support various student needs, clubs and activities! To date, this event has raised more than $2 million.

More information about the event, including how to register, will be available soon. 

The Holly Day Fair was started in 1973 by the Bishop Guertin High School Mother’s Club to raise money for student activities. Over the years this fair has blossomed into one of the best craft fairs in the area. The fair offers unique craft items, food, recipes, raffles, gift baskets, and tons of holiday spirit from more than 70 artisans from across New England. 

The Annual Legacy Gala Dinner & Auction is an exciting event which benefits the Cardinal Endowment Fund for Scholarships and Financial Assistance. Last year we awarded over $1.7 million dollars in scholarships and tuition assistance and even more will be needed this year to help our students. 

The Gala is important because it helps raise much-needed financial aid to ensure that a BG education is available and attainable for all those who seek it. It also celebrates the founding of Bishop Guertin High School, paying tribute to the generations of Brothers, religious women, laypersons, and businesses whose dedication has made BG the prominent institution it is today.
