Random memories pop up in my mind every time I attend the monthly Alumni meetings at Hayes. I have fond memories of the concert band (we actually met Regis) and the football team (we had a great season).

One time, I was walking by my old locker in the first floor and remembered all the great times I had in my section. In our sophomore year, the school upgraded the halls with new lockers and for a split second wondered where the funding came from. Being part of the concert band and football team, I asked myself again "Where did Hayes receive the money to purchase the new music instruments, football jersey, and weightlifting facility?" The current students must be asking the same question when they are using the new state of art "Duff" football field or walking by the Monsignor John Graham Fine Arts Wing.

And, the answer is "YOU," the loyal men of Hayes. Throughout the years since its opening, alumni of the school and friends of Cardinal Hayes have donated time and money to Hayes. Now, I am asking you to join your fellow classmates by making a donation to help keep Hayes as how we left it and even better. By the way, don't stop there. Come by the school and see all the amazing changes that have occurred in the last seven years.
