OUR NON-PROFIT PARTNERS
Collaboration is at the heart of our mission. Our non-profit partners provide valuable expertise, resources, and opportunities, all of which contribute to the success of Xavier University student-athletes. We work with our non-profit partners to identify meaningful engagement opportunities that student-athletes can use their platforms to amplify the reach of our partners. We provide these opportunities at no cost to our non-profit partners.

Varner Foundation
Kids being fostered have so many needs that are necessary but, are not in the scope of traditional programs or those programs simply don't have the budget to support the needs. The Varner Foundation takes referral from its "trusted partner" organizations to help stand in the gap so... Great foster parents can keep fostering; Kinship caregivers can keep their families together; And older foster youth can move towards self-sufficiency
The Friars Club
The Friars Club, a Catholic, Franciscan ministry, develops valuable life skills in our youth through sports, education, and leadership programming to enrich their lives and our community.

The series takes a look inside the lives of Xavier Basketball student-athletes and how they connect to the mission of our non-profit partners. The kick-off was held prior to post-season in 2023.
