Cheer Cheer: A Celebration of Black Notre Dame Alumni and Friends
Cheer Cheer is an annual celebration honoring the leadership, resilience, and community impact of Black Notre Dame alumni and friends. I’d love to invite you to partner with us for this year’s event, Cheer Cheer: A Celebration of Black Notre Dame Alumni and Friends.
This year’s event will take place on March 20, 2025, at the Jackie Robinson Museum, featuring Justin (’05) & Lauran (’06) Tuck as special guests. This inspiring gathering blends education, networking, and community empowerment, while raising funds for the Frazier Thompson Scholarship, which supports Notre Dame students and empowers the next generation of leaders.
