Annual Fund Dinner: August 27, 2025
This is our largest fundraising event of the year and is often regarded as a favorite by parents, alumni, and friends. It offers a wonderful opportunity to come together in celebration and generosity for the benefit of the entire Bishop Chatard High School community. The evening’s program provides a meaningful glimpse into life as a Trojan and includes recognition of outstanding community members who have consistently supported our mission.
For the 2025 Annual Fund Dinner, $783,280.00 was raised at the event. Thank you to all the donors for your generosity and ongoing support.
