Vino with The V (Upcoming)

Join us for a special evening of wine, fellowship, and giving at the home of Kirk and Ann Meche. Guided by Vandebilt alum Blake Trahan, guests will enjoy a seasonal wine tasting, with wine and gift baskets available for holiday orders.

All proceeds benefit The V Foundation of South Louisiana, supporting Catholic education and teacher salaries.

Teacher Appreciation Day 2025

To align with our mission to improve teacher pay, in 2025 we launched a special Teacher Appreciation Day of Giving with a goal of $30,000. Through your support, we raised $8,755, which went directly toward honoring and supporting the dedicated teachers who make Catholic education possible at Vandebilt Catholic.

This fundraiser will take place each year during Teacher Appreciation Week as The V Foundation’s annual focused day of giving—replacing our previous participation in the iGiveCatholic campaign in the fall.

iGiveCatholic 2024

For our third year, we set our goal at $30,000. Thanks to the kindness of our donors, we raised $17,230. Once again, these funds were added to our endowment to help sustain Catholic education for years to come.

Because of your generosity, we were again able to provide faculty bonuses, continuing our commitment to supporting teachers who make Catholic education possible.

iGiveCatholic 2023

In 2023, we set a goal of $16,000 and were amazed by the overwhelming support we received. Together, we raised $68,950—over four times our goal!

This incredible generosity greatly expanded our endowment and the impact of supplemental support for teacher salaries. Due to the success of this campaign, we were able to provide the current Vandebilt Catholic faculty with a year-end bonus of $200 each.

This was also an exciting milestone for The V Foundation, as it marked our first step toward raising teacher pay—a core part of our mission.

iGiveCatholic 2022

Our very first year participating in iGiveCatholic came with a goal of $10,000. With the generosity of our community, we raised $8,287. These funds were added to our endowment to support our mission of supplementing teacher salaries and strengthening Catholic education in South Louisiana.
