New to the 2025 auction was the 50/50 Society. This was introduced to reimagine "Pennies for ACE,” which was coined by Fr. Earl ‘61 Befort, OFMCap. in 2014. For 11 years, this program was a real boost to the annual Auction for Christian Education, but with the ever-changing needs of the school and the push for sustainability, we came up with a new way to achieve both goals.

Donors to the 50/50 Society are able to help in more ways than one; each donation of $2,500 or more has its donation split with half going towards the auction total (which goes right back to the school for its most immediate needs), and the other half towards a sustainability fund. This provides past Item #160 projects with funds to maintain and sustain projects into the future. Our 2025 50/50 Society yielded a total of $65,250! Help us grow the impact of the 50/50 Society at ACE 2026!

Donations received by 3/1/2026 will be recognized in ACE event publications.
