THANK YOU for participating in Extravaganza 2023 – A KNIGHT WITH THE GREAT GATSBY

Since 2004, the Bernard Family and the Ralph L. & Florence A. Bernard Foundation have shared their generosity with Archbishop Hoban High School through their dollar-for-dollar scholarship match. This year’s challenge is to match $75,000! Since the passing of Ralph Sr. and Florence, their children Mr. Ralph Bernard Jr. (class of 1962) and Mrs. Regina Dain have continued this legacy. Over the past 15 years the Bernard family, along with our thoughtful and kind-hearted Extravaganza guests, have raised more than $1.6 million for student scholarships and financial assistance.

So now we turn to you. Shop the silent auction. Take a chance on raffles. Raise your paddles. Donate to student scholarships. And, HAVE FUN!

– The Extravaganza Committee

WELCOME

Dear Hoban Family,

Welcome to Hoban’s 38th Annual Extravaganza, A Knight with the Great Gatsby! We are excited to welcome you to campus for what promises to be an evening to remember. Extravaganza celebrates all that is good about Hoban – most notably our greatest asset, our people. Thank you for joining us as we continue to lead in the Holy Cross tradition.

Since 1953, Hoban has prepared students for the rigors of postsecondary education and the challenges of adulthood. Our mission as a Catholic, Holy Cross school is to educate the hearts and minds of students, so they develop the competence to see and the courage to act. In my estimation, this is the noblest of causes.

Part of our mission as a Catholic school is to keep tuition affordable so that the Hoban experience remains accessible for all. We appreciate our families’ financial sacrifice to provide their children with a Hoban education. Still, tuition revenue alone does not cover the costs associated with educating more than 800 students. Extravaganza gives Hoban the “extra” leverage we need to provide our Knights with vital financial and material resources, meaningful spiritual engagement opportunities, world-class academic programming and robust cocurricular activities. Your support is vital.

The Ralph L. & Florence A. Bernard Foundation continues its tradition of providing a matching gift to help raise scholarship monies. This year’s challenge is to match $75,000! At the end of the night, we ask you to raise your paddle to help exceed the $150,000 goal for student scholarships and financial assistance.

In requesting this special consideration, I am very mindful of the generosity, charity and giving spirit offered by so many to make Extravaganza successful. I look forward to sharing the evening with you and continuing to make an impact in the lives of our students.

God Bless and Go Knights!
