Committed to serving as a capital fundraising partner to School District #206.

Our History

The Alexandria Cardinal Athletic Foundation was established in 1994 as a 501(c)(3) by Cap Paciotti and a group of forward-thinking business and community leaders.  We are an organization committed to serving as a capital fundraising partner to School District #206 so today's student athletes can be equipped to serve as tomorrow's community leaders.

Since our inception, the Cardinal Athletic Foundation has provided nearly $250,000 to support a variety of Cardinal sports and sports-related needs. Through capital campaigns, support from the community, and the Cap Paciotti Memorial Golf Tournament, we continue to raise needed funds for programs that help our student athletes.

And through programs like the Tom Lehman Scholarship, we share these funds with those who need it.
