Over the past 23 years, investment from our supporters has made a tremendous impact on student achievement and success. Building a strong stewardship culture provides the school with a competitive advantage and translates into stronger programs, improved facilities and an overall better educational experience for our students. While tuition sustains our school, additional funding from advancement initiatives elevates us to greatness. Save the dates for our 2024-2025 events and programs dedicated to furthering our school's excellence!
FUND FOR ST. ANTHONY
We, like most private schools, rely on charitable giving to balance the budget. Your support of the Fund for St. Anthony allows us to provide enriching educational opportunities and top-notch facilities for your children. Dolphin Donor Week—in early November—is a fundraising event designed to encourage all alumni, faculty, parents, and friends to support the Fund for St. Anthony. Your gift, no matter the size, makes a huge impact on the lives of our students! NOTE: When we reach 90% family participation in the 2024-2025 Fund for St. Anthony an extra day off (March 17, 2025) will be added to the calendar!
STEPS FOR STUDENTS - February 8, 2025
Steps for Students is an annual Archdiocesan-wide event where all school and parish communities can come together as one to support Catholic education. The goal of Steps for Students is to raise awareness of the importance of a Catholic education and provide much needed resources for our Catholic schools. This day of family fun includes a 5K USA Track and Field Association sanctioned race and post-race party.
AUCTION GALA - March 1, 2025
Our annual auction gala is a fun evening for parents, friends and family of the St. Anthony of Padua community consisting of cocktails, dinner, dancing and silent and live auctions. Sign-up parties are fun ways that everyone can participate in the fun! Thank you to Andrea & Bobby Aertker for chairing our 24th gala!
