Color Run 2024

Thank you everyone for yet another successful Color Run, we hope you enjoyed the colorful night as much as we did! A huge thank you to our wonderful sponsors and volunteers who helped make this event a success. In total we raised... $33,862.

Join us on Friday, November 29, 2024, for the fourth annual Mike Pfefferle 3-on-3 Memorial Tournament.  Here is a link to the registration website.  This event held in memory of Mike Pfefferle ’89 features both a men’s and women’s bracket. Participation continues to grow and is a can’t miss event. Both Xavier alumni teams and teams from throughout the community are involved. If you can’t make it for the event, please check the website to purchase swag and/or make a donation. All proceeds benefit the Mike Pfefferle Memorial Fund which benefits scholarships and athletics.

Mike Pfefferle ‘89 passed away on July 4, 2021, after a courageous battle with cancer.  Mike was the President of Pfefferle Companies and known for the respect and dignity he gave to employees and all whom he worked with throughout the years.  His charitable and volunteer works were many and his generosity was known throughout the Fox Cities Community and especially at Xavier.  Sports, fishing, and Marquette basketball were among his many passions and whether it was coaching hoops, fishing with family and friends, or enjoying an evening with his Golden Eagles, his bright smile and love for life made for many special moments. Mike was a loving husband to Lydie, and father to sons Charlie and Sam, and daughter Chloe.
