69th Annual Caritas Scholarship Celebration
Saturday, April 25, 2026 at 6 p.m.
Pat Sullivan Center at USF

For nearly 70 years, the annual Caritas Scholarship Celebration has served as the primary fundraiser for University of St. Francis scholarships. Caritas helps  to make a college education possible for so many bright students… many who are the first in their family to attend college. Each year, USF provides them with millions of dollars in institutional support, which helps students who would not be able to obtain a college degree without financial assistance. Visit USF’s Caritas webpage for all event details and a link to the official auction site!
