The Pat Sullivan Recreation Center at University of St. Francis

Wear your brightest formal attire!

For nearly 70 years, the annual Caritas Scholarship Celebration has served as the primary fundraiser for University of St. Francis scholarships. Caritas helps  to make a college education possible for so many bright students… many who are the first in their family to attend college. Each year, USF provides them with millions of dollars in institutional support, which helps  students who would not be able to obtain a college degree without financial assistance.
