2026 Spring B.O.L.T. Recap

Pius X High School’s 41st annual B.O.L.T. “Green and Gold Gala” was held on Saturday, April 25, 2026. Thank you to the 500+ supporters who made this year’s B.O.L.T. Gala such a memorable evening. Whether you joined us in person, volunteered behind the scenes, bid on auction items, purchased lottery tickets or donated items, your generosity made all the difference! We are excited to share that B.O.L.T. 2026 netted more than $315,000 in support of Pius X High School’s chapel improvements and Booster Club.

About B.O.L.T.

The B.O.L.T. Gala is the single largest fundraising event of the year for Pius X High School. Proceeds from BOLT 2026 will support the installation of new pews and the addition of a balcony in our renovated chapel, providing expanded seating and space for our choir. These upgrades will benefit future generations of Thunderbolts and the entire Lincoln Catholic community. One third of event earnings will also go to the Booster Club to further support student activities and athletics.
