Dear TC Family
I am thrilled to share the incredible success of the 2025 Cross & Shield Gala, which took place this past Saturday night. It was a truly unforgettable evening, filled with faith, fellowship, and a shared commitment to Tampa Catholic’s mission.
Thanks to the unwavering generosity of our TC community, we raised over $500,000 to support tuition assistance and campus facility improvements. Your support ensures that Tampa Catholic continues to provide an exceptional education rooted in Faith, Excellence, and Family for generations to come.
Beyond the fundraising success, the Gala was a celebration of our Crusader spirit. One of the most moving moments of the night was hearing from Nicole Fiffe Quintero'24, who shared her personal journey at TC and the impact of a Catholic education on her future. Nicole's story was a testament to the transformative power of a Tampa Catholic education.
A heartfelt thank you to our Gala Co-Chairs, Tammy Berard and Elena Garcia Lazaro '94, and the entire Gala Committee for their dedication and hard work. We are also deeply grateful to our parent volunteers, sponsors, underwriters, and donors—your generosity made this night possible.

Thank you for your continued support. Together, we are shaping the future of Tampa Catholic and empowering the next generation of leaders.
