Xavier Foundation

Annual Funds play an essential role in the advancement of Catholic secondary education at Xavier High School.

We are grateful to parishioners, alumni, parents, business leaders and other friends who have contributed to the annual appeals each year.

Our annual funds from this past year provided over $400,000 in vital support to Xavier. Annual and restricted gifts provide:

The Archbishop's Circle was initiated in 2003 to recognize and thank those donors who have demonstrated their commitment to Xavier High School by supporting the Foundation with generous unrestricted annual gifts of $1,000 or more during the Foundation's fiscal year. Donors contributing at that level are invited to attend the annual Heritage Society reception in the summer. Gifts at this level support the Foundation's mission and help Xavier plan for the future. Each year the Foundation will acknowledge the honor roll of Archbishop's Circle members based on gifts and payments given to the annual appeals during the fiscal year. Archbishop’s Circle recognition will be determined annually by a donor’s cumulative giving to the Foundation’s annual appeals between July 1 and June 30.

Annual Business Appeal
Thanks to the hard work and dedication of more than 80 volunteers, the Xavier Foundation 2006 Business Appeal was a success. Volunteers visited with area business leaders to share with them the benefits of Xavier High School to the community, area businesses, and today’s youth.

More than 185 area businesses donated $87,142 to this year’s campaign, surpassing the $85,000 campaign goal. The gifts contributed during the business appeal account for almost 15% of the money raised by the Foundation throughout the year to provide funding for Xavier High School. These funds assist Xavier’s 700 students as they are educated in the tradition of mind, body and spirit within the values-based curriculum Xavier is proud to offer.

Leading this year’s efforts were appeal chair Kathleen Kleiman (L82) of Simmons Perrine Albright and Ellwood and associate chair Pat Deignan of Bankers Trust.
