Annual Fund Dinner: September 2, 2026
Bishop Chatard High School’s largest fundraising event of the year 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.
