New: Tomorrow Marks #GivingTuesday - Consider Giving to Xavier!
|
|
Attention Raytheon Collins Aerospace Employees - Special 2 for 1 Match Day Tomorrow
The Xavier Foundation has some big news…Xavier is once again participating in #GivingTuesday!
#GivingTuesday is a global day of giving that takes place November 30 this year — following Black Friday and Cyber Monday! What better way to start getting into the holiday giving-back spirit? We’d love it if you participated with us. The best way to do that is to share our cause on social media using the hashtag(s) #GivingTuesday #WeAreXavier and to join millions of global givers on November 30 by donating at xaviersaints.org/givenow.
Your donation will help our families be able to make Catholic education a reality; support the Xavier Teacher Endowment and to advance faith and academics at Xavier.
Many companies are offering a special match tomorrow to mark #GivingTuesday. For instance, Raytheon Collins Aerospace is offering a ‘2 for 1’ match on November 30, a one-day only special match day. Check with your HR department for further match information for your place of employment.
#GivingTuesday is the year’s most heart-warming donation celebration. We ask that you consider Xavier Foundation on this special day - xaviersaints.org/givenow.

Let's help it grow even stronger.
Join us in giving back for #GivingTuesday on
November 30. Give to the Xavier Impact Fund,
volunteer, or do an act of kindness. Every act of
generosity counts and each means
more when we give together.

Reminder: Help in the Concession Stands is Still Needed
|
|
This Fall Xavier Booster Club has raised over $23,000 in concessions due to the tremendous support of XBC Concessions Chairs Kim Loffswold, Justine Kadlec and parents from Band, Boy's Tennis, Volleyball, Girl's CC, and Wrestling! All of the profits from concessions is allocated directly to the 40+ activities that Xavier Booster Club supports.
Help in concessions is still needed for December. Activities that will volunteer for concessions include: Football, Boys Cross Country, Girls Track, Boys Track, Boys Golf, Drama, and Volleyball. If your student participates in these activities please review the sign up for volunteer spots. All parents and volunteers are welcome regardless of activity to volunteer. Many hands make light work.
Please sign up today!
