Saint Xavier University's 'Halfway to Homecoming' fundraiser set for Feb. 24

It's never too early to show Cougar pride!

If you are a Saint Xavier University (SXU) alumni, break out the beads and feathers! SXU's Office of Alumni and Parent Relations will host its 'Halfway to Homecoming' fundraiser on Friday, Feb. 24, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at 115 Bourbon Street, 3359 West 115th Street, in Merrionette Park. This Mardi Gras themed event is open to alumni, friends and family who are 21 years of age or older. There will be food, beverages and music for a night of New Orleans-style delight!

Admission costs are $35 for online early bird registration, and $40 after that period. The cost of admission includes food and drinks for the evening.

Proceeds raised from this event will benefit the Saint Xavier Fund, which benefits student scholarships; as well as, the Student Veteran Alliance (SVA), who plan to put profits toward the creation of a veteran memorial on the Chicago campus.
