On the Scene: Jesuit High School’s Gaudiosa

Jesuit High School’s 18th annual fundraising gala, Gaudiosa: An Evening Venice, raised more than $825,000.

It marks the second straight year Gaudiosa exceeded $800,000 and is a testament to the amazing generosity of Jesuit’s many benefactors, who have maintained strong support during the COVID-19 pandemic, a statement said.

All proceeds from Gaudiosa go toward Jesuit’s financial aid program. This school year, Jesuit committed a record $3.2 million in financial aid to some 40% of the student body.

Gaudiosa has generated nearly $6 million over the past eight years – all for Jesuit students with financial need.
