Forward Together. One school year at a time.

The Annual Fund is the gift that goes to work immediately. It does not wait for interest to accrue or for a building to be finished. It pays for the school year a Raider is having right now.

Three places. Every single year.

Rummel does not spread the Annual Fund thin across a wish list. It goes to the three things that decide whether a Raider gets the education the school promised his family.

Academic Programs

The courses, the labs, the technology, and the materials that make a class worth taking. When the accounting program came back, this is the line it came back on.

What he learns

Exceptional Faculty

Attracting teachers worth keeping, and keeping the ones already here. A school is its faculty. Everything else is a building with a schedule.

Who teaches him

Campus Security

The unglamorous work of making 1901 Severn Avenue a place a parent does not have to think twice about. No family should have to weigh this.

Where he does it

A thousand dollars. Or a hundred a month.

Either one reaches the same place and carries the same Raider Club membership. The only question is which one fits the way you actually manage money.

$1,000, once

A single gift, done in a minute, and your Raider Club card is in hand before the next home game. For a gift made out of a bonus, a good year, or a sale, this is the straightforward route and there is nothing to remember later.

$100, monthly

The same $1,000 across twelve months. It costs less to feel, it renews without you thinking about it, and it hands the school something a one time gift cannot: a number it can count on while it builds next year’s budget.

The last appeal finished. Here is what stands.

Forward Together is not a hypothetical. The campaign before this one is already poured, wired, and in daily use by students who will never know who paid for it.

Saint La Salle Seminar Room

Built inside the library as a multipurpose seminar space, for the collaborative work that a room full of forward facing desks cannot hold.

In the library

The Reception Area

New furniture and new flooring at the front of the school. The first ninety seconds of a family’s visit happen in this room, every time.

At the front door

Restroom Renovations

The student and ladies’ restrooms, refreshed and updated. Nobody names a building after this work and it still has to be paid for.

Throughout campus
Before Forward Together there was 1901 Severn, and before that a line of appeals going back decades. Each one was funded by people who had already left the building. That is the pattern, and it is the whole reason the school is still here.
