Support The New Xavier Impact Fund
Gifts by alumni on Forever Saints Day, our annual day of giving by LaSalle, Regis and Xavier alumni, will now support the new Xavier Impact Fund. Xavier Impact Fund provides support to three key areas of need at Xavier High School:
- Family Financial Assistance: Xavier's goal is to keep Catholic education as an affordable and viable option for all families, regardless of their economic situation. This goal is made attainable through Xavier Impact Fund's bolstering of Xavier's existing local family assistance program.
- New Teacher Endowment: Xavier teachers earn, on average, substantially less than their public school counterparts. This newly-established endowment, supported by Xavier Impact Fund, will help to close that gap.
- Faith and Academics: Xavier continues to flourish in its ability to help students deepen their faith and prepare them for success in and all endeavors they wish to pursue beyond high school. Xavier Impact Fund will help Xavier continue to grow existing opportunities and launch new initiatives to help students in their faith and academic pursuits.

Thank You, United SAINTS of America!
The United SAINTS of America responded in a BIG way on Forever Saints Day. LaSalle/Regis/Xavier Alumni and other supporters poured in their generosity from all over the country (and the world!). Thanks to at least one donation from every state in the country AND three international donations, we were able to unlock all $30,000 in regional matching gifts. The matching gifts were offered by several generous alumni from LaSalle, Regis and Xavier. THANK YOU, UNITED SAINTS OF AMERICA!
