News Mention:
APPLETON - The St. Francis Xavier Catholic School System received a $2.5 million gift from the estate of the late Elva Dorn, the largest bequest the system has ever received school leaders said Wednesday.
Dorn and her husband, Herb, were lifelong members of St. Joseph Parish. They had no children, but supported Catholic education in the Fox Cities by establishing the Herbert and Elva Dorn Scholarship Fund in 1992. Elva died in 2014 at the age of 107.
In a statement, system President Deacon Ray DuBois said he is grateful Elva thought of them once again.
"We are truly blessed by the generosity of Mrs. Dorn. Her foresight and faith will benefit our current students and future generations," DuBois said.
A total of $2 million of the gift will go to the St. Francis Xavier Catholic School System Foundation, with the remaining $500,000 designated to fund academics, fine arts, a prayer garden and administrative costs of the remodeling project at Xavier High School.
A portion of the money will support the scholarship fund the Dorns established, the Xavier Catholic Schools Foundation Fund and create two new funds. The Herbert and Elva Dorn K-8 Memorial Scholarship Fund will support scholarships for elementary and middle school students. The Herbert and Elva Dorn K-12 Support Fund will cover long-term needs across the system.
