WHAT IS FOXFEST?

“FoxFest was so much more than I expected! The food was delicious, and we enjoyed laughing with new friends.”   —Andrew Heimmermann, first time FoxFest attendee in 2023

This popular annual dinner auction is a fun and entertaining night out filled with good food, games, fellow FVL supporters, and a silent and live auction—but it is also so much more! 

Proceeds support FVL's Tuition Assistance Fund ($350,000 per year). This helps about 100 families who otherwise would not be able to afford to provide their children with a Christian education at FVL.

Consider joining us on April 5, meeting fellow members of the FVL family, and helping to make a Christian education available to more students. 

Get your tickets today!

Support the Tuition Assistance Program and Have Fun

The FoxFest Dinner Auction is FVL's biggest fundraising event of the year. The location has at times moved, but the commitment to making a Christian education affordable for families has remained the same. Over $1M has been raised through our dinner auctions. 

This year's generous matching fund is $35,000. Every year the auction is closed out with a paddle raise. Ministry stories are shared, and the paddle raise thermometer is displayed on the screen, rising in real time. It is overwhelming to see what we, the FVL family, are able to do together. Glory and thanks to God for the generosity and commitment that contributes to making a Christian education affordable for so many families.

Join us! Consider getting a table and inviting friends and/or family to join you for this entertaining night out. We look forward to seeing you there!
