New Trier’s annual Gold Out brought our community together through compassion, service, and support for children and families affected by pediatric cancer.

The tradition began with New Trier student Olivia Sergot, whose strength, kindness, and commitment to helping others inspired our community during her own cancer journey. Olivia passed away in 2021, but her impact continues through this annual event, which has grown to support and honor other New Trier students, alumni, and families affected by cancer.

In partnership with Cal’s Angels, students sold gold T-shirts leading up to the Gold Out football game. Proceeds supported Cal’s Angels’ mission of granting wishes, raising awareness, and funding pediatric cancer research.

Students, staff, families, and fans came together by wearing gold and filling the stands in support of this important cause. The Gold Out continues to be a powerful New Trier tradition built on kindness, remembrance, and community.
