After weeks of buzzer-beaters, surprise upsets, and fierce giving battles, we are thrilled to announce that the Grandparents are the 2025 DC Madness Champions! 

They faced tough competition at every turn—from passionate parents to determined alumni—but round after round, the Grandparents showed up strong, steady, and united. In the final showdown, they went head-to-head with the energetic Upper School Students and proved that experience and heart can still outplay youth and hustle. 

We also want to give a huge shoutout to the Upper School Students, whose energy, determination, and school spirit made them incredible contenders all the way to the final buzzer.

Thanks to the generosity of 253 donors, we raised over $31,000 for the Fund for DC—supporting every student, every day in their spiritual formation, academic excellence, and co-curricular pursuits.

To everyone who participated in this tournament: thank you. Whether you made a gift, rallied your team, or spread the word, you helped make this campaign a success.

Congrats again to our champions—and to all of you—for making this a tournament to remember!
