Beginning in the spring of 1994, and continuing every year since then, an annual giving campaign has been conducted in support of the Saint Francis Xavier School Fund (SFXSF). The SFXSF was established to facilitate the maintenance and improvement of the school and its program without raising tuition to prohibitive levels. Each year all readers of our SFX Alumni & Friends Association Newsletter (SFX A&FA News) are afforded the opportunity to contribute to the SFXSF annual giving campaign.
Cumulative total donations (through 2007) $451,840
To date, the SFXSF has been an unqualified success. Even a brief review of the SFXSF’s record gives one cause for optimism about the fund and the school’s future. In the autumn of 2006, the cumulative total of donations to SFXSF exceeded the $400,000 level. The annual campaign totals for SFXSF are as follows:
