Raven Fund: 16-17 Annual Campaign
The Summit, like other independent schools, must raise funds every year to help meet operating costs, since tuition alone never covers the full cost of an independent school education.
Moving Towards Our Goals
Goal: $30,000
Total Pledged to Date:
$17,046.33
Goal: 100% Family Participation
Participation to Date:
22%
Every donation counts! We encourage each family to donate to their ability. Whether big or small, every single gift makes an impact at The Summit! While the dollar sign is looking good, we'd love to see that family participation percentage increase! Consider making a donation ($25 or $2,500) today!
