As speaker and best-selling author Steve Maraboli once said, “A kind gesture can reach a wound that only compassion can heal.” A wound the Xavier High School girls’ and boys’ soccer teams had to go through was missing out on their seasons last year, but the compassion that helped heal this wound was the generosity of the Xavier Booster Club (XBC). Their generosity included donating portable goals to both programs in the 2019-2020 season, amongst additional soccer gear like a soccer bag and new soccer balls.

Lunch will be served for all participants at 12 p.m. courtesy of Panera Bread and the Young family. This year’s event is the 24th annual outing that supports Xavier’s extracurricular activities including academic, athletic and fine arts programs. Nearly 30% of the $75,000 that the XBC allocates to support Xavier’s activities is raised through the golf outing.
