Annual Fundraising Events

Overview

Fundraising Events

Celebrate. Connect. Make a Difference.

At St. Francis Catholic High School, fundraising events do more than raise dollars—they bring our community together in joyful celebration and shared purpose. These events are vital to ensuring that our school continues to thrive, now and for generations to come.

Each year, the Advancement Office hosts three signature events that unite alumnae, parents, students, faculty, and friends in support of our mission. The proceeds directly fund:

  • Scholarships for students in financial need
  • Enriched academic and co-curricular programs
  • Transformative faith experiences
  • Award-winning arts and athletics
  • State-of-the-art campus facilities
  • And essential operational costs beyond what tuition covers

Your participation helps fill the gap between tuition and the full cost of a St. Francis education—and ensures every student can thrive. 

Get ready to make memories, build community, and support a powerful mission at these signature events:

  • Thankful Thursday
