Not a Fundraising organization
A Fun Making Organization
Annual Ski Trip
The flagship Dads’ Club event! Enjoy an amazing weekend on the slopes and attend several gatherings for dads and daughters.
Father-Daughter Dance
A long-time favorite event. This may be the last time you dance with your daughter before her wedding day!
Pickleball Tournament
The second annual Pickleball Tournament will be held on the new tennis/pickleball courts at Xavier.
It seems as if, in an instant, there is now a young woman standing where a little girl used to be – every day, stronger, smarter and more independent – experiencing the adjustments that come with new beginnings. Our daughters have a wonderful future ahead of them in which our part naturally diminishes but don’t be fooled. Girls need their dads.
On behalf of Matt Smith, Vice President – Xavier Dads’ Club, and me, welcome to the Xavier Dads’ Club! Our mission is to enhance the connection between dads and their daughters.
Throughout the year, the Dads’ Club offers a number of opportunities to create memories at our signature events. Visit https://www.xcpdadsclub.org/ to learn more. We can always use a hand; volunteer on a committee.
Join us at our Monthly Meetings at 5:30PM on Tuesdays in Lutfy or Founders Hall. Dinner will be provided.
As a Xavier Dad, you’re already a member of the Dads’ Club and are welcome at all meetings and events. For your daughter’s sake – become a Big Gator! With a one-time cost of $350, this membership offers great benefits, including $100 off the annual ski trip for you and your daughter, free admission for you and a guest to all regular season Xavier and Brophy sporting events on campus, a Dads’ Club polo shirt, hat, tie, and a name badge.
