About The Excalibur Fundraising Event
The Excalibur began 15 years ago as a small silent auction to raise funds for
special programs that benefit the cadets at the Academy. Through the volunteer
efforts of parents, alumni, faculty, and staff, the event has grown into the
Academy's largest fundraiser. Since its beginning, more than $1.5 million has
been raised from The Excalibur, with all funds used for the benefit of the
cadets.
The Excalibur's primary mission is to raise funds for programs that directly
benefit the cadets, such as:
- Totzke Learning Center
- New Integrated Leadership Program
- Music and Bagpipes Program
- Community Service Program
- Scholarship Program
The Social Event of the Year
Eleven years ago, The Excalibur expanded to include a live auction,
formal dinner and dance. Now, The Excalibur Benefit Auction and Dinner Ball is
the premier social event of the Academy. The weekend begins with a silent
auction held on the beautiful grounds of the Academy on Friday afternoon and
Saturday morning continuing with the Saturday evening gala held at the Country
Springs Hotel.
Help our cadets and be part of a weekend to remember! Mark your calendars and
attend The Excalibur on April 25-26, 2008.
Support the Cadets - Volunteer for The Excalibur
The success of The Excalibur is due to the many volunteers who give their time,
talent, and treasures. There is sure to be a volunteer opportunity to fit your
talents and time schedule. Parents, alumni and teachers volunteer out of a deep
love for the Academy and the desire to maintain St. John's Northwestern's
reputation as the premier military school in the country. The Excalibur
encourages volunteers to experience the fun and magic of bringing the event to
life by participating on one of the event committees: acquisitions, invitation
and auction catalog, silent auction, dinner, or live auction.
