Night of the Lion: At Home Edition Recap

A Record Year for Student Scholarships

Saint Viator High School hosts Night of the Lion each year with three primary goals—to support the Tuition Assistance Program, to recognize the successes of our students and faculty, and to build camaraderie within the Lion community. And while we could not gather on campus as we traditionally have, the impact of our 2021 Night of the Lion: At Home Edition was no less incredible.

Together, albeit virtually, we celebrated a record year for Night of the Lion and student scholarships—raising more than $270,000. By staying home, we protected the open doors of Saint Viator High School, and the nearly 850 students we serve each day.

With the partnership of our Saint Viator community, more than $270,000 was raised through a virtual paddle raise ($141,000), corporate sponsorship ($59,500), robust electronic auction ($39,461), SV Restaurant Week - Dine and Donate ($3,359), and the inaugural Grand Prize Tuition Raffle ($28,000)!

Most notably in 2021, we were able to highlight pillars of the Saint Viator High School experience through student storytelling videos, capturing where Lions feel most at home—in academics, athletics, fine arts, faith, counseling, the Scanlan Center, the Klues Innovation Center, and even through their families, as so many Legacy Lions exist in the school’s storied history.

Night of the Lion: At Home Edition also provided an opportunity to honor those people, who, themselves, have made generations of Lions feel at home at Saint Viator. Please join us in congratulating Dean Deb Scerbicke, Mrs. Judy Amberg, Mr. Patrick Mahoney, and Fr. Charlie Bolser, CSV, for their tremendous role in welcoming families to Saint Viator over the past several decades.

The strength and spirit of our Saint Viator community was showcased brightly through Night of the Lion 2021, and we are so thankful for the continued support. Even though we couldn’t be together in person, the Saint Viator family shared generously and celebrated joyously, and in doing so, created opportunities for more young men and women to become Lions for Life.

We are humbled and most grateful for the ongoing support from our alumni, current families, past parents, friends, and fans of Saint Viator High School. Special thanks also to our Night of the Lion volunteer leadership committee and the Parents Club, who helped bring the reimagined virtual Night of the Lion to life!

Please plan on joining us next year for Night of the Lion on Saturday, March 5, 2022.
