For the university's 64th Caritas Scholarship Ball, WNBA Chicago Sky stars Allie Quigley and Courtney Vandersloot, along with members of the University of St. Francis women’s basketball team, auctioned off a clinic at USF’s Pat Sullivan Center for the summer of 2021.

USF holds a special meaning for Allie and the Quigley family. Allie’s father, Pat, and her mother, Chris, are both inductees of the athletic department’s Hall of Fame. The basketball floor at USF is also named Pat Quigley Court in memory of her father. Allie’s stepfather, Don Strle, also played basketball for the Fighting Saints and was a teammate of Pat, while Allie’s sister, Sam, coached the USF women’s basketball team for five years.

Allie is a three-time WNBA All-Star, and both a two-time WNBA Sixth Woman of the Year and All-Star 3-Point Contest champion. Courtney, meanwhile, holds many WNBA assist records and has been named an All-WNBA selection three times and an All-Star twice in her career. Both women have had great basketball careers both in the United States and internationally.

Even more than their professional talents, both Allie and Courtney demonstrate the University of St. Francis’ core values of Respect, Integrity, Compassion and Service through their gift of this clinic.


In this special year, the University of St. Francis Caritas Scholarship Ball went virtual as it celebrated the 64th ball on Saturday, January 30, 2021 to raise scholarship funds for USF students. The event was chaired by Ann & Steve Randich and Corey & Steve Carbery and hosted by USF President Arvid and Anne Johnson. This year’s virtual theme was “From Our Home to Yours” and included live entertainment, amazing live and silent auction items, paddle raise and a raffle prize. Caritas has raised almost $6 million for USF students through its 64 years of history and over $2 million of that total in just the past seven years. If you would like to donate, please visit stfrancis.edu/caritas.
