To Host The Annual Higgins Gala
“Preserving the Legacy – Mind, Body & Spirit”

Tickets on sale Friday, September 18, 2009. Tickets are $75 per person. Ticket price and donations are tax deductible. There are several tiers of sponsorship available. Please call St. Peter Claver School at 813-224-0865 for more information on sponsorship opportunities or to order tickets.
This year’s event has never been so important to the continued mission of St. Peter Claver Catholic School. The school was founded in 1894 to serve the African-American community of Tampa and has relied on the continued support of the community and the Diocese of St. Petersburg. Traditional funding sources have not been renewed this year and St. Peter Claver is now forced to be self-sufficient. Proceeds from the event will go to funding tuition assistance, after-school programs, computer labs, extracurricular academic clubs and sports teams enabling the school to provide a well-rounded and enriching education to its student body.
