Walk for Ben


Nearly $14,000 was raised in one morning to fund leukemia research at the Jimmy Fund, in honor of Xaverian's own Ben Lepper ’19.

On Saturday, April 27, more than 500 members of the Xaverian Brothers High School and Ursuline Academy communities came together to Walk for Ben. The wind and rain didn't dampen the enthusiasm as friends, family, faculty, staff, coaches, and administrators showed their support of Ben Lepper ’19, who was recently diagnosed with leukemia. Donations collected through the walk, almost $14,000 in total, will be donated to the Jimmy Fund for leukemia research.
