The Regina Dominican advancement office and the Parent Association puts together several events throughout the year. These events not only benefit the school financial but also strengthens the school community. For more information about any of these events, contact Special Events Coordinator Kristine Reilly ’09 at [email protected].
The Booster Club Golf Outing is the major fundraiser for the athletic program of which over 60 percent of their students participate. The advancement department organizes the golf outing with the help of the Booster Club volunteers. The outing is a SCRAMBLE, making it fun for serious golfers, first timers and every skill level in between. Bring your foursome or we will pair you with other golfers in a foursome. If you don’t play golf, join us for dinner afterward. We have a raffle and an auction with great prizes!
The school year begins with the President’s Family Liturgy and Reception. The president gives an address and presents the St. Martin de Porress Award to a current parent for their outstanding service to Regina Dominican. The Mass is followed by a small breakfast reception for families in attendance.
Regina Dominican hosts a Back to School Reception for alumnae celebrating a banner year to compliment class reunion plans. The night is composed of a Mass, alumna medal presentation, professional group photos, school tours, and cocktails.

2016 Event
On March 5, the school celebrated as over 370 alumnae, current parents, graduate parents, faculty, and friends of Regina Dominican rallied together and raised more than $340,000 towards scholarships and academic programs.
The evening began when Nancy and Michael Pins of Glenview were awarded the Regina Caeli Award, which recognizes outstanding members of the school community for their sustaining support and constant dedication to the school mission.
The celebration continued with a live auction and “Raise the Paddle” in which attendees donated to the scholarship fund.
In her address to attendees, current student Linnette Maliakal ’16 reflected on her high school experience. “Whenever people ask me where I attend high school, I cannot help but immediately and proudly respond, with a smile on my face, ‘Regina Dominican.’ The close-knit community of faculty and students is just one of the reasons why Regina is so rewarding.”
Maliakal continued by thanking Regina Dominican’s donors for providing an affordable college preparatory education. “My parents highly value a Catholic education. Because of donors like you, sitting in the audience tonight, they have been able to send their daughters to Catholic schools.”
The night was truly a celebration of Regina Dominican’s mission to educate and prepare young women for college and beyond.
