Cardinal Crusade

What is the Cardinal Crusade?

The Cardinal Crusade is an evening of fun and fellowship supporting Pacelli Catholic Schools. The event, this year marking the 6th annual, consists of socializing, hors d’oeuvres, dinner, raffles, games, prizes, a silent auction, and a live auction with many great items, packages, and experiences that you could call your own. The Cardinal Crusade is one of the largest annual fundraisers, second only to Panacea, where 100% of the proceeds again go to supporting the more than 800 children served each year in our childcare, preschool, and K-12 educational programs.
