Join Xavier's Jazz program in supporting Dan's House of Hope
For the 16th consecutive year, help the Xavier HS Jazz program support the Dan's House of Hope (DHOH) mission of helping older teen and young adult cancer fighters reduce isolation, decrease financial burden and nourish hope. This mission is based on the vision of past Xavier student Dan Kenneavy ('07) who passed on from cancer in 2009.
Thank you to Lead Sponsor - EDCi - at the Miles Davis Level Sponsorship!
DHOH is EXTREMELY grateful to the students, staff and parents from St. Francis Xavier HS for their support in honor of Dan!!
This will be the 5th straight year that a delicious dinner has been included with the performance by these talented young musicians. All donations received directly support the DHOH mission by providing free lodging for young adult cancer patients and their caregivers as they seek treatment at MD Anderson Cancer Center and the other hospitals that make up Houston's TX Medical Center.
In addition to offsetting costs of travel, food and lodging and other costs as they seek medical care, critical isolation reducing community and psycho-social programming helps return a sense of normalcy for this vastly underserved demographic. Check out www.danshouseofhope.org for more info.
We appreciate your consideration of being a dinner sponsor for as little as $100. Sponsorship covers your free will donation for the dinner and concert! Donate from this page, mail checks to Dan's House of Hope, PO Box 8444, Houston, TX 77288-8444, or pass them along on the evening of the dinner and concert.
Coming just for dinner and music? Donation appreciated but not required, however, reserving tickets IS required. Donating here will reserve your tickets (suggested donation = $10 minimum), or you can register using the QR code on the Xavier flyer pictured above, or contact Xavier band director Mr. Kieran Wallace at: kwallace@xaviercatholicschools.org.
