Bat for the Cure

Friday and Saturday  13 & 14 August 2010

The Notre Dame Senior Alumni Association (NDSA) has partnered with the national "Bat for the Cure" organization to educate the public about prostate cancer. Bat for the Cure volunteers work at Minor League baseball games to make people more aware of prostate cancer, diagnostic tools, and treatments. The ND Club of Portland will volunteer at the August 13 Portland Beavers game and the August 14 Salem-Keizer Volcanoes game.

We already have five (5) volunteers for the Beavers game . 
3 people would be sufficient for the Volcanos on the 14th. That game starts at 5:00 PM and volunteers will be able to access their tickets at 3:30 PM (reporting time).

Contact Greg Wingenfeld

Universal Notre Dame Celebrations

In 1924, John H. Neeson, class of 1903 and then President of the Alumni Association, began Universal Notre Dame Celebrations as a universal meeting of all clubs on the same night. Neeson's first "Universal Notre Dame Night," in the form of a nationwide radio broadcast, highlighted the non-athletic achievements of the University's alumni and friends and, moreover, for the broader American public. The event served to nurture the University's reputation as a premier learning institution, and in fact promoted it.

Today, these events are referred to as Universal Notre Dame Celebrations, and are held to provide alumni with a "State of the University" from speakers representing all areas of the University. UND Celebrations are a key way for the University to thank alumni for their commitment to Notre Dame and provide an important mechanism to receive feedback from alumni across the world.
