Our annual Transforming Lives Dinner has grown to become O’Dowd’s signature fundraiser. Each fall, families, alumni, and friends gather together  to makea difference in the most direct way possible - providing funds to make an O’Dowd education accessible to students who would not be able to attend.The incredible generosity of the O’Dowd community not only transforms the lives of these individual students, but helps build a socio-economically diverse campus for all students. Together we make all the difference for O’Dowd students. Join us!

This year’s event will include:

• A reception with live music by O'Dowd's own string orchestra

• Seated dinner in the Knauss Gymnasium provided by parent-owned Dove Catering
