2025–2026 Bruin Spirit Raffle
What is the Bruin Spirit Raffle?
The Bruin Spirit Raffle is St. Patrick-St. Vincent Catholic High School’s mandatory all-school fundraiser. It helps offset the rising cost of private education while supporting academic, spiritual, and co-curricular programs that directly benefit our students.
Why is this raffle important?
While tuition covers a significant portion of operating costs, it does not fully cover the actual cost of educating each student. The Bruin Spirit Raffle helps bridge that gap — allowing us to keep tuition more stable and Catholic education more accessible for our families.
