About


Together, We Support Our Tars.

On Rollins Giving Day, parents and families come together to support the experiences that help students grow, learn, and thrive. Your participation in the Parent Challenge strengthens the Rollins experience and helps ensure that students have access to the resources and opportunities that prepare them for meaningful futures.

Parent support plays a powerful role in shaping the student journey. By joining other Rollins families in giving, you are investing in academic excellence, student success, and the programs that enrich life on campus and beyond.

This year, Giving Day offers a meaningful opportunity to give together. When 200 parents make a gift, John C. Myers IV โ€™94 โ€™96MBA and Victoria Myers Pโ€™27 will donate $10,000 to the Rollins Annual Fund, amplifying the collective impact of parent participation.

Every gift is a reflection of shared belief in our students and their potential. Join us on February 19 and help support the experiences that make a Rollins education possible.
