Special Events

MAGAZINE DRIVE

The Magazine Drive is a long-standing tradition where SFX students, faculty and staff dedicate two weeks in the fall to help raise support for the school’s general operating budget.  Our goal this year is to raise $96,000 and we will receive 45% magazines sold.  In 2006 $93,000 was raised and in 2007 $96,000 was raised. 

GUARDIAN ANGEL APPEAL

The Guardian Angel Appeal is an annual effort to help raise tuition assistance support for our school families who may experience a crisis such as illness, loss of employment or death of a family member.  Last year our goal was $30,000 and we raised more than $37,000.  Currently, 40% of our 600 students receive a form of tuition assistance and this year we hope to raise $32,000 to support the increased needs of our school families.  The Guardian Angel Appeal is running right now, so please help us meet our goal!
