We invite you to come HOME and join us as we celebrate the 53rd annual Christmas For Others charity drive!
Since its inception in 1971, the Padua community has come together to show what it truly means to be Franciscan. In total, CFO has raised nearly $1 million for many local and global charities and has become the largest student-run outreach program in Northeast Ohio.
Here are a few ways Alumni can help make this a memorable CFO season:
CFO Donation Drop Off
Padua will be collecting a number of items for non-profits and worthy causes. You can drop off donations at Padua’s Main Entrance when school offices are open (Monday – Friday from 7am – 3pm) from now through December 17th.
