St. Francis Xavier provides the best quality education to students throughout the Southwest Florida region. With 21st Century Learning Centers, advanced technology in the classrooms, and diverse academic programs, we excel at giving our students the teachings they need to succeed in school and beyond.
However, none of these advancements would have been possible without the generosity of our donors and our annual fundraising efforts. In the past, our team of educators, staff, and friendly volunteers have held numerous successful fundraising events. These include our End of Year Annual Gala, Mom’s Club meetings, and the Virtual Variety Show Gala.

Tropical Nights Gala

In 2023, the St. Francis Xavier Catholic School Tropical Nights End of Year Gala was a “sizzling success!” This year’s theme was “Tropical Nights,” and it made for some very colorful attire. Thanks to generous sponsors and donors, we smashed our fundraising goal! Together, we raised more than $150,000 in support of our students.
Music Man Jr.
Friday, March 31 – Sunday April 2, 2023
The students at Saint Francis Xavier Catholic School proudly presented 3 performances of “The Music Man” March 31-April 2. The students, staff, and parent volunteers worked for 8 months on putting together the production. Hard work and effort made for a successful show. Gabe Cruz and Bianca Bruno led the cast of over 60 students. Favorite songs included: “76 Trombones” and “Shipoopi.” The kids had a great time learning about the early 1900s and loved the creative costumes and beautiful set design. Father Anthony made a surprise entrance at the end of the show as part of the River City band!

This adult-only fundraising event has a new theme every year; this year’s theme was “Boots & Bling.” Parents, staff, and other partygoers can get involved and give back through fun activities like the live and silent auctions. Local businesses and community members donate amazing items to be auctioned off to raise money in support of our students.

Parents and community members alike were swept away by our incredibly talented students during their production of Matilda Jr. The play follows the story of a young girl with out-of-this-world powers who finds refuge in story books. The play ran for one weekend in April and highlighted the hard work, creativity, and outstanding acting abilities of every student who participated. Each year, the school puts on a different play and students can audition for their parts. Tickets were sold to the public.
