Over the past 25 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 2025-2026 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!
STEPS FOR STUDENTS - February 7, 2026
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.
25TH ANNUAL GALA - April 11, 2026
Our annual Gala is a wonderful evening for parents, friends, and families of the St. Anthony of Padua community to come together for cocktails, dinner, dancing, and exciting silent and live auctions. Sign-up parties are a great way for everyone to join in the fun — and they sell out fast! A special thank you to Nancy Barr and Michelle Little for serving as our 25th Anniversary Gala Chairs! If you’re interested in becoming a sponsor, donating an auction item, or hosting a party, please contact us at advancement@ap.school. We’d love to have you join us!
