Voice of the Ventures, Summer 2015

ON CAMPUS
A Night in Paris at the BFC Auction
This winter, Bishop Foley Catholic welcomed guests to the streets of Paris for their
Annual Auction and Gala. The evening was truly one to remember as the gym was
transformed into a romantic Paris setting, complete with the Eiffel Tower. It was a
record setting night as over 300 guests came through the door to bid on exciting
items in the silent and live auction, participate in raffle drawings, and enjoy delicious
food and drinks, provided by Club Venetian. We can’t say thank you enough to all
those who donated items to our Auction, but also to all the families and friends of
Foley that came out to the event. The proceeds from this event will help Bishop Foley Catholic continue to provide
a high quality education to all of our Ventures. Thank you to all who made our Annual Auction and Gala a success!

Foley Catholic to
Celebrate 50 Years
The 2015-2016 school year is a big one for Bishop
Foley Catholic High School, as it marks the 50 th Year
Anniversary of our school. Nearly 50 years ago, we
opened our doors with the intent to teach students in
a Catholic faith based environment that would allow
them to become leaders of the future. Although many
things have changed throughout the last 50 years,
one thing that has remained constant is the support
of our benefactors – parents, staff, faculty, friends, and
alumni – who always want to make BFC a better place.
Without every single one of you, BFC would not be the
school it is today and we certainly would not have been
around for 50 years, providing a quality Christ-centered
education to every student who walks through our
doors. BFC is blessed with dedicated faculty and staff,
engaged parents, and energetic students. BFC continues
to thrive based on generous donations that come from
faculty, staff, parents, grandparents, and our alumni.
If you are interested in making a difference in the lives
of Bishop Foley Catholic students and families, please
consider the following giving options:
Annual Fund
Every year, Bishop Foley Catholic conducts an Annual
Fund to raise funds that are necessary to maintain
and enhance the excellence in education provided
to students. Your gift to the Annual Fund would help
provide tuition assistance, ensure that our athletic
facilities are first class, support the recruitment,
retention, and recognition of our outstanding faculty,
provide for a cutting-edge academic curriculum, and
improves many of our award winning programs, such
as the Fine Arts, Robotics, Drama, and much more.
Sts. Joachim and Anne Society
The Sts. Joachim and Anne Society at Bishop
Foley Catholic High School is dedicated to our
grandparents who commit to using their talents and
resources in order to support the students of BFC.
