Classmates, it's been 20 years since we walked across that stage, but our journey with Xavier is far from over. As we prepare for our big reunion, we're calling on you to show up for our alma mater just like Xavier showed up for us. Giving back is part of who we are as a community. Black people have always been among the most philanthropic, giving more of what we have to support our communities, our churches, and our HBCUs. Taking care of our own is who we are and what we do, and it’s time to continue that legacy.

 

We're launching the XU Pride in Philanthropy campaign because giving goes beyond dollars—though raising $100,000 for our class gift is a goal we’re proud to chase. It’s about showing up, making an impact, and demonstrating that together, our participation defines our legacy. Every single one of us can contribute in some way, big or small, and that all adds up to making a real difference.

 

Whether it’s $20 or $2,004, your gift counts and it boosts our class giving rate. It shows that we care about investing in the next generation of Xavierites, just like someone invested in us.

Together, we can hit that $100,000 mark and beyond. So let’s do what we do best—take care of our own, because it’s who we are. It’s what we do. Let’s do all we can to leave a lasting, impactful legacy.   

 

Join us, Class of 2004, in making history again. Every gift matters, every dollar counts, and together, we can make this reunion one for the books!
