St. Pius X School has been a contributing member of the East Dallas area for over 50
years. Our mission is to recognize the value of each student and to challenge the individual
to be a responsible, self-disciplined, lifelong learner in the service of the church and
society. We would like to invite you to be a part of this mission by asking for your support
and sponsorship of our annual school auction.

This year’s Gala, Under the Big Top, will be held on February 17, 2024, at St. Pius X. The
Gala, a volunteer-driven event, is the biggest fundraiser for our school. Without
contributions like yours, we would not have the funds to accommodate our school’s many
needs. Our school represents a cross-section of socio-economic backgrounds with a goal
to offer a quality education to any deserving student. In the last few years, your generous
contributions have allowed us to purchase Chromebooks for all our students in grades
4th-8th, upgrade our Theater department, as well as bolster our scholarship fund and
provide much needed bonuses for our hard-working teachers!

While tuition covers a portion of the costs of educating our students, the money raised at
our annual auction is necessary to upgrade facilities, outfit classrooms with cutting-edge
technology, and provide teachers with valuable resources. It also helps close the gap
between what tuition covers and what it costs to educate each student every year.

Attached you will find donation and underwriting forms for this year's Under the Big Top
Gala. Your tax-deductible contribution, in any capacity, is greatly appreciated. Please mail
your completed form to St. Pius X Catholic School at Attn: Auction, 3030 Gus Thomasson
Rd, Dallas, TX 75228, or email your forms to spxauction1@gmail.com. You can also donate
online at: https://bidpal.net/spxunderthebigtop/.

Thank you in advance for your support of our wonderful school. Through your generosity,
you join us in our mission of providing the best possible environment for the academic,
spiritual, and social growth of each student.
