GIVE to this year’s March for the Heart Alumni & Family Giving Challenge.

Choices, Choices, Choices! Last year you appreciated more giving options, so we are happy to give you the following donation choices this year:

• Jane Cannon Legacy of Love and Learning Endowed Scholarship — This scholarship was established in 2022 in Jane’s memory with a plan to create a $200,000 endowment in perpetuity. We have raised more than $170,000 already but need your help to meet the goal. Five students have already benefited from this scholarship in the last two school years. Make an impact that will last a lifetime by donating today! To learn more, click  here.
• Annual Fund  — The Annual Fund is the foundation of giving for the Academy and provides unrestricted funds to support the operating budget which gives the school the most flexibility. Your gift today to the Annual Fund is impactful and truly appreciated!  To learn more, click here.
