At Casady School, we believe in the power of community. The Annual Fund Parent Committee plays a vital role in building a culture of philanthropy by encouraging meaningful participation from every family. Together, we support the mission of Casady School and ensure a bright future for all Cyclones.
Our Purpose

  • Foster a strong culture of giving among Casady families.
  • Encourage participation in the Annual Fund at a level that is meaningful for each family.
  • Support Casady’s long-term success through awareness, connection, and collaboration.
