EHS 24/7 Roll Call Challenge 2020

We are overwhelmed. Thank you, EHS alumni and community members, for helping us show the Class of 2020—and our younger students, faculty, and staff—that Episcopal's 24/7 support system extends beyond the Holy Hill. 

The power of Episcopal's alumni network cannot be underestimated.

Old friendships endure through moves, marriages, children, career changes, sickness, triumph, loss, and now pandemic. New friendships and mentorships emerge between Old Boys and Girls who graduated years or decades apart. And as long as the School's mission endures, Episcopal alumni continue to provide support for the students who are following in their footsteps. 

During this time, Roll Call support from our alumni and extended community is more critical than ever. You have helped us raise over a quarter million dollars that will directly benefit Episcopal's faculty, staff, and most importantly students. Every individual in our extended community is experiencing upheaval in their life right now; to see this show of support under these circumstances is incredibly humbling.

Thanks to you, we have surpassed our 1,000 donor goal and received over $50,000 in matching gifts from these thirteen alumni:

Joe Alala ’88 (Chair)

Cameron Baker ’11

Jeff Clarke ’89

John Hooff ’95

Gray McNair King ’96

David Maybank ’90

Patrick Mealy ’09

Ginny Moore ’03

Stephen Shuford ’87

Leah Kannensohn Tennille ’01

Helen Grassi Vest ’03

Darren Willcox ’89

Chris Williams ’06

If you haven't participated yet, you can still help! Be part of Episcopal students’ support system, and make a gift to the Roll Call today. 

The School has been able to adapt to distance learning with creativity and confidence thanks in large part to the generosity and care of our alumni, parents, families, faculty, staff, and friends. Thank you for being there for our students. We are incredibly grateful! 

Wait ✋ ... what is the Roll Call again?!

• Donations to the Roll Call—Episcopal’s annual fund—are immediate-use dollars which help this year’s students.
• These donations will account for a full 10% of the School’s operating budget this year.
• Over half of the School’s operating expenses are salary and benefits for our amazing faculty and staff. Supporting our people is our number one priority, and our highest fixed cost. 
• While savings from virtual learning, like the costs of food and weekend activities, are being passed along to our current families, we must maintain robust Roll Call support to ensure that our incredible team of educators remains strong.
