On Saturday, August 3, twenty four alumni from nine CA classes turned out to run for Coach Conrad Hall once again, for the annual Cary Academy alumni cross country meet.

The meet also marked the official kickoff of the Meet the Match Alumni Challenge. For the next year, all gifts made by alumni tothe Conrad Hall Endowment Fund—a need-based scholarship for students showing interest in both academics and athletics—will be matched, dollar for dollar, up to $50,000.

The Blondy family has generously offered up to $50,000 in matching dollars to double the impact of alumni gifts. A big thank you to the Blondys and to our alumni for getting us off to a strong start in honor of a valued coach, teacher, and mentor.
