St. Francis Xavier Catholic School is holding its annual fundraiser auction this Saturday, April 20. The fundraiser will be from 5:00-9:00 p.m. in the Bradley Gymnasium.
Shawn Augustine, the principal of St. Francis Xavier Catholic School, said this year’s theme for the fundraiser is “Run for the Roses.” He noted the theme has to do with the Kentucky Derby and they will have different games and events throughout the evening, including some horse-related activities.
A silent auction and live auction will take place throughout the evening. Some of the items on the live auction include get-away trips. Along with the auctions, there will be numerous ways to give and show support to the school. “One of the biggest ways to show support is to our item-less item,” Augustine said. “This year has to do with student scholarships.” Attending a private school can be expensive for families, so Augustine noted that donations to student scholarships will allow families in this community to attend the catholic school.
To attend the auction, you must buy a ticket. There are several options available. Single tickets are $60 each, a table of six is $300, or a table of eight is $420. A ticket purchased includes a meal from Hog Wild Pit Bar-B-Q and an open bar.
This auction is the biggest fundraiser for the school every year.
To purchase tickets, you can call the school office at 785-238-2841.
