Xavier Day 2026

One Day for Xavier!

On Xavier Day, the impact of your gift goes further because it helps unlock over $85,000 in challenge funds generously provided by the Xavier Foundation and philanthropic donors who believe in the value of a Xavier education and want to incentivize others to support as well.

Xavier Day is a day to support all current and future Hawks. It is also the opportunity for our alumni, parents, parents of alumni, grandparents, dedicated faculty and staff, current and future students, friends of the Xavier community, and soon-to-be alumni: the Class of 2026 seniors (graduating on May 27th) to join us and celebrate the love we all have for Xavier Catholic Schools. Our goal for this year is to have 800 donors make a gift in support of Xavier Catholic Schools. Together, we can do this!

There are several ways you can participate:

• Pray with Purpose – Lift up Xavier, especially during Xavier's Day of Giving, asking for abundant blessings, strong participation, and a lasting impact on students and our community.
• Wear Your Xavier Pride – Show your support by sporting Xavier gear and sparking conversations wherever you go.
• Make a Meaningful Gift – We ask you to prayerfully consider making a donation to Xavier Catholic Schools. Every donation, no matter the size, directly supports students and strengthens the Xavier mission. The great thing about Xavier Day is you determine where your gift goes- Give to what you love, or, give for who you love. Please also note that your contribution could unlock challenge dollars!
• Share the Mission – Amplify the message by posting on social media and inviting others to join the Day of Giving. Display your Xavier pride on Twitter and Instagram using #XavierDay2026. Like us on Facebook @xaviercatholicschools to see our own shared posts throughout the day. See our Social Media Toolkit for additional ideas.
