Annual Fund Drive

The Annual Fund Drive is the cornerstone of giving to Roger Bacon High School and second only to tuition in providing income to the school. The Annual Fund Drive is a fully tax-deductible opportunity for families and friends to contribute to the Annual Fund. These programs are an important source of unrestricted support for our students. Every gift to the Annual Fund, regardless of size, directly benefits students by supporting a spectrum of critical programs from academics to athletics, campus ministry to Christian service, technology to performing arts, college counseling to student activities. These funds also provide tuition assistance to those families in need.

Gifts to the Annual Fund Drive have traditionally given Roger Bacon its margin of excellence, helping to make up the difference between tuition and the true cost of educating each child. These gifts, combined with others, are a powerful tool that continues the legacy of providing our students with the quality education they deserve and expect.
