On June 7, the Marian University Athletic Department hosted its inaugural Sabre Celebration Breakfast fundraiser at the Fond du Lac Holiday Inn. Aimed at showing the significant role that athletics plays in many students’ lives, guests partook in a continental breakfast and had the opportunity to connect with members of the Marian faculty, administration and staff. With both current and alumni student–athletes speaking about how being a Sabre changed their lives for the better, guests learned how outside contributions ensure that these opportunities continue to exist.
The first Sabre Celebration Breakfast was considered a success with 240 in attendance donating $18,600.

“The Sabre Celebration Breakfast was designed to reveal the true magic behind our Athletic Department to our stakeholders,” said Paul M. Neuberger, Vice President for Advancement. “That magic can be found in the family atmosphere, brotherhood, sisterhood and lifelong bonds that are formed between our players and coaches. All of the money raised at this event will benefit our student–athletes and provide for their needs, thereby ensuring our program is around to educate and inspire our leaders of tomorrow.”
