X-TRAVAGANZA
THE LONG BLUE LINE Our St. X Family
X-Travaganza is an annual St. Xavier High School tradition which brings together the parents, alumni and friends of St. Xavier to enjoy fun events while supporting the students. We are pleased to bring this X-citing event back IN PERSON this year! While grateful for the tremendous support given by our patrons to last year’s virtual event, our committees are enjoying planning X-Travaganza 2022: Celebrate the Long Blue Line – Our St. X Family. This theme reflects the purpose of X-Travaganza, whose proceeds directly benefit all St. Xavier students by funding educational programs and cocurriculars that contribute to the students’ development as Men for Others.
Opening Party – There’s No Place Like the St. X Family – will be held Saturday, February 26, 2022 from 7 to 10 p.m. in the Ellis Gym. Guests will enjoy this casual evening of food, drinks, music, raffles, baskets and exclusive Silent Auction items. Opening Party is an informal opportunity to meet new friends, reconnect with fellow St. Xavier supporters and enjoy a fun atmosphere that includes a performance from St. Xavier’s acclaimed music groups. Opening Party Chair Jennie Tiemeyer will create an evening of excitement you won’t want to miss!
New this year, Silent Auction opens Tuesday, March 1, 2022, giving everyone an opportunity to bid on items posted online. The main event, X-Travaganza 2022: Celebrate the Long Blue Line – Our St. X Family, takes place Saturday, March 5. Mass will be held in the chapel at 5 p.m., with the dinner auction moving this year to the Berning Gym - which will be transformed into a welcoming gathering space worthy of a warm family reunion! The fun begins with a variety of raffles, open bar and tasty appetizers to enjoy while browsing the many Silent Auction items on display - only guests in attendance at X-Travaganza that night will be able to bid on these items. The Grand Raffle drawing for cash prizes of $20,000, $10,000 and $5,000 brings an exciting start to the delectable sitdown meal, with the fast-moving Live Auction starting at 7:30 p.m. The X-ceptional items presented are sure to grab your attention to bid – everything from naming rights of the St. X driveway to a fabulous trip to Palm Springs! X-Travaganza 2022 Chairs, the Klare Family - Susan and Andy ’87, Karen and Dan ’85, Bob ’83 and Lisa and John ’82 - promise a memorable event!
Our appreciation goes out to the hundreds of volunteers, donors and sponsors whose countless hours make these unforgettable events possible. This collective generosity and enthusiasm creates a unique opportunity for fun and purpose, with proceeds benefiting all the young men of St. Xavier. Your ongoing support of X-Travaganza – whether being part of an event, purchasing Grand Raffle tickets, donating gifts for the auctions, volunteering or numerous other roles – fulfills the long-standing tradition of student support by the St. X community.
