Xavier Jesuit Academy is deeply grateful to everyone who contributed to the success of our 2025 Spring Social fundraiser held on April 2, 2025, at the Maketewah Country Club. The event raised critical funds to support incoming third-grade students.
The evening was a memorable celebration of community and generosity. Guests enjoyed various engaging activities throughout the night, including a Silent Auction where attendees browsed and bid on an impressive array of donated items, from local experiences to unique gift baskets.
The Live Auction, led by Mary Brenneman, Courtis Fuller, Greg Olson, and Fr. Nathan Wendt, S.J., kept the excitement high as bidders competed for exclusive packages and one-of-a-kind opportunities.
At the Putt-n-Win, guests tested their putting skills on our miniature green for chances to win special prizes. At the same time, the popular Split-the-Pot raffle generated substantial contributions, with half the proceeds going to a lucky winner. The highlight of the evening came during our mission-focused Paddle Raise, where attendees lifted their paddles high to support our students' educational journey directly.
The program featured a powerful presentation by Principal Kyle Chandler on the school's impact, culminating in a special moment when he invited XJA teachers to join him on stage. This showcased the dedicated educators who bring our mission to life every day.
We extend special thanks to the Planning Committee for their dedicated efforts in organizing the event, our sponsors and partners for their generous financial support, all attendees, auction participants, and donors for their enthusiastic involvement, and our volunteers for ensuring a seamless experience.
