Wings Auction

St. Edward is a place where students of all backgrounds strive for excellence. From academics to extracurriculars, young men are driven to make the most of their gifts to benefit the world. On Saturday, April 12, the 28th annual Wings Auction will celebrate that spirit with the theme: Reach for the Stars!

The Wings Auction isn’t just St. Edward’s largest fundraiser—it’s a cosmic launch of opportunity and hope. Over the past three decades, Wings has raised over $11 million for need-based tuition assistance—helping families who need it most. In recent years, the event has soared past $1 million annually, proving that when we come together, there’s no limit to what we can achieve.

All are welcome to join us as we launch into making this year’s Wings Auction the best one yet!
