November 14, 2009, Xavier College Preparatory Mothers' Guild hosted its 40th Annual Holiday Dinner and Auction, "Jingle Bell Rock. The Annual Holiday Dinner and Auction is the School's 1st major fundraiser of the year. It was a huge success.
Each year the committees within the Mothers' Guild work hard by selecting a theme and color scheme. The colors were awesome and are shared as early as in the invitations.
This Silent Auction event displays a host of donations made by businesses ranging from the communities of Scottsdale to Ahwatukee. Xavier designs an Auction website, which is a great tool for marketing and advertisement for these donors since a photos and/or company logo along with a direct link to the donor's website is provided. Xavier also recognizes its donors through program recognition, mentions in other publicity and printed materials. Xavier further encourages their families to patronize these donors and businesses that participate in the Annual Dinner and Auction.
The decorations this year were out of this world, and also provided by local business as well as designed by Xavier's theatre staff. Of course, the color and theme was carried out in the decorations.
The weather was perfect for the evening. There was a huge turnout and large participation in both the silent and live auction. Items donated ranged from gift cards to local restaurants, to FBR tickets and vacation stays in places like Sedona and Mexico.
All of the money generated from this year's event will be used to build Xavier's new "Founders Hall", a multi-purpose building that, in addition to including a cafeteria, classrooms and larger chapel, it will give the student athletes, club members and activity participants a
much needed place to gather.Again, Xavier College Preparatory Mothers Guild works extremely hard to make this event a huge success, and I have to say they pulled it off again this year. I am glad I was a part of it all!
