Four ways in. All of them count.
A gift can meet this year’s need or outlive everyone reading this page. Rummel runs both, and the difference is worth understanding before you choose.
The Annual Fund
The gift that works this school year. It steadies academics, faculty, and the campus itself, every year, from the whole community.
Give this year ›Memorial Gifts
Seven funds, each held in the endowment under the name it honors, so a man who mattered here keeps mattering here.
See the funds ›Endowed Scholarships
A named fund whose principal is never spent. The interest sends a Raider to school every year, in your name, permanently.
Name a scholarship ›Planned Giving
A gift through your will, a trust, a retirement account, real estate, or an IRA distribution. It starts with one conversation.
Start the conversation ›One gift. Or twelve small ones.
Both roads reach the Raider Club. Pick the one that fits how you actually manage money, not the one that sounds more impressive.
Give it once
A single gift of $1,000 or more enters you in the Raider Club for the year and gets your card in hand before the next home game. This is the simplest route, and for a gift made from a bonus, a sale, or a year that went well, it is the right one.
Give it monthly
One hundred dollars a month reaches the same $1,000 threshold and carries the same membership. It costs less to feel, it renews itself, and it gives the school something a single gift cannot: a number it can count on when it builds next year’s budget.
Give a thousand. Walk in free after that.
Every donor at $1,000 and above is in the Raider Club. The card is digital, it lives in your phone beside your boarding passes, and it opens the home gates for two all year.
Two In, Every District Game
Complimentary admission for two to all home varsity district games. Playoffs are the one exception, because those gates are not the school’s to give away.
Home varsity districtTwo In, Anything on Campus
Free admission for two to every game hosted on the Rummel campus, across every sport and level. Show the card and keep walking.
Any sport, any levelTwenty Percent Off the Store
A standing discount at the Raider Pride Store, which pays for itself around the second grandchild who needs a shirt.
Raider Pride StoreThe Raider Club Social
The one night on the school calendar where a 1966 graduate, a current parent, and the company that sponsors the golf tournament end up at the same table.
Invitations go to every member in good standing, at the email address the school has on file for you.
Leave your mark. Literally.
The “Walk of Pride” runs from the Severn parking area by the gym, past the marble statue of Christ the Good Shepherd the alumni priests gave, through the Leadership Entrance and onto campus. It is paved in engraved brick, and one of them can be yours.
| The brick | Price |
|---|---|
| 8x8 red brick paver | $250 |
| Graduating senior | $150 |

Your Campus. Your Legacy.
Some of them read like a class note. Some read like a father talking to a son. All of them are still there.
Thank God Almighty, I’m a Raider. Class of 1966.
Or just show up. That counts too.
Every gathering on this calendar is a fundraiser wearing a good time. Buy a seat, enter a team, or put your business on the wall.
Beast Feast
Cook teams, wild game, and an afternoon that sells out year after year.
Pull up a plate ›Raider Classic
The alumni golf tournament at Chateau. Foursomes, flag sponsors, and the awards tent.
Build a foursome ›Fishing Rodeo and Family Fest
Boats in the morning, the weigh in and Family Fest after. Bring the kids.
Get on the water ›Event Sponsors
The businesses behind every gathering, and how to put your own name beside them.
Join the wall ›No form can do this part. So call us.
A named scholarship, a bequest, a gift of stock or property, or a company match all start with a conversation rather than a checkout page. The Department of Development will take it from there.
The school’s secure form takes a card or a bank draft, one time or monthly, and sends the receipt straight to your inbox. Recurring gifts can be changed or stopped by you at any time without calling anyone.
Make it payable to Archbishop Rummel High School and send it to the Department of Development, 1901 Severn Avenue, Metairie, LA 70001. If the gift is for a particular fund or in memory of someone, write that in the memo line and it will be directed and acknowledged that way.
Many employers match an employee’s gift to a school, and a good number match retirees and spouses too. Send us your company’s matching gift form, or the portal link, and the Development office completes the school’s half. A $500 gift becomes $1,000 and can carry you into the Raider Club.
An endowed scholarship starts at $50,000 and a Full Tuition Scholarship at $250,000. The principal is invested and never spent, so the fund sends a Raider to school every year under the name you choose. This one starts with an email, not a form.
A bequest, a beneficiary designation, a charitable gift annuity, appreciated property, or a qualified charitable distribution from an IRA. Each has different tax consequences and none of them should be decided off a web page. It begins with a conversation with the Head of School or the Director of Advancement.

Ask for the Director of Advancement for anything involving a named fund, an estate gift, or an asset other than cash.
A Raider is counting on this. He will never know your name.
Any amount, one time or monthly, on the school’s secure form. It takes about a minute.
