The 43rd annual Pacelli Panacea will take place Friday, Sept. 8, through Sunday, Sept. 10, at Pacelli High School, 1301 Maria Drive, Stevens Point.

The event, funds from which go toward the Stevens Point Catholic School system to buy needed items like new textbooks, gym equipment and supporting annual operations, brings in between $120,000 to $125,000 annually during the three-day event.

“Panacea has grown into a community-wide event that has become a staple of our community,” said Hannah Henderson, director of advancement for Pacelli. “It is our largest annual fundraiser for the Catholic School system – we utilize an enormous amount of volunteers, parents, students, alumni, teachers and staff members – everyone pulls together to go above and beyond to make it possible.”
