Dax Zuceck '28 Raises $7,000+ for Bellarmine's Direct Tuition Assistance Fund

Rising senior Daxton Zucek ’27 is turning his passion into purpose. Through Pictures for Purpose, he raised an incredible $7,150 for Bellarmine's Direct Tuition Assistance Fund this year, nearly tripling what he raised last year.

“I didn’t go to as many events, but I shot a lot of media days for basketball, lacrosse, volleyball, water polo, and more family events and business connections. So I had more scheduled shoots instead of just going to games and hoping people would buy photos,” he says.

With Instagram and word of mouth continuing to grow, so has the impact. And he’s not done yet.

“Last year I never would’ve imagined that I would even double the amount I raised, so almost tripling that amount is already a big achievement.”

What’s his goal for next year? To beat this year, of course.

Through sports photography, team media days, family and business events, and other commissioned shoots, Dax is using his talents to help make a Bellarmine education accessible to more students while demonstrating what it means to be a man for and with others.
