This year’s Reach for the Stars Wings Auction was a mission like no other—blasting off to unprecedented heights in support of tuition assistance.
At the heart of this year’s celebration was a shared commitment to our Holy Cross mission. Hundreds of volunteers, students, and staff helped make the night unforgettable, transforming the school into a space-themed spectacle.
A special video titled One Giant Leap reminded guests what brotherhood truly looks like, inspiring many to give boldly.
And give they did.
The event rocketed to a record-breaking $450,000 in sponsorships alone—including a historic $130,000+ gift from the Class of 1975 in honor of their 50th reunion. It was the largest Wings sponsorship in school history and a shining example of the lifelong connection forged at St. Edward.
Guests lifted their paddles high during the always-spirited Fund-a-Need, cheering one another on as Edsmen raced through the crowd in celebration of each generous donation. The energy in the room was electric—and the results were out of this world.
Wings 2025 raised a total of $1,024,169 in net proceeds—marking the fourth year in a row that the event has surpassed $1 million after expenses.
Whether you sponsored the event, volunteered, attended, or placed a bid from home—thank you. Your support helps ensure that deserving young men can experience the brotherhood that defines St. Edward High School.
