• Alumni

  Alumni have a special and personal connection to the school. They also serve as admission ambassadors, encouraging promising students to consider our school; as reunion volunteers and attendees at local and regional events, bridging the past to the present; and their regular investment in The Fund for RE ensures that today’s students have the finest educational experience possible. Whether an alumnus/a of Everglades, Ransom or Ransom Everglades, when our alumni return as current parents and grandparents, they bring a rich history and a new perspective to their association with Ransom Everglades.
  
  We provide many opportunities to remain active with the school and stay connected to our community:
  
  

  • Attend/organize local and regional events.
  • Participate in mentorship programs, college mock interviews, or host an intern.
  • Serve as a class ambassador.
  • Assist with class reunions.
  • Volunteer for one of our special events, such as Ransom Everglades Epic Fishing (REEF) Tournament, the annual Holiday Party, mock interviews, the RE Business Plan Challenge and Alumni Weekend.
  • Participate in our community service projects through the REACH Too Program (Ransom Everglades Alumni Can Help Too).
  • Support RE by giving to The Fund for RE.

• The Fund for RE

  Volunteer solicitors will directly impact Ransom Everglades by helping to raise annual funds that sustain the school’s growth, support its mission and provide the flexibility to respond to immediate and sometimes urgent financial needs. 

  
  Each year, with the support of the advancement staff, more than 250 volunteers serve as front-line fundraisers and reach out to their fellow parents and alumni. The primary goals are to increase the number of individuals supporting the school and raise approximately $3 million per year for The Fund for RE.
  
  

  • Parents – Parents of current RE students contact other parents, helping them to connect to the school and asking them to consider gifts to The Fund for Ransom Everglades. Parent volunteers are organized by grade teams with Parent Grade Chairs, who lead each team.
  • Alumni – Alumni of all class years reach out to their fellow alumni as class agents. They keep classmates connected to the school and encourage their support by making a gift to The Fund for Ransom Everglades. In their reunion year, Reunion Giving volunteers help raise funds from their classmates to celebrate their time together at Ransom Everglades in honor of their alma mater.
  • Leadership giving – Parent and alumni volunteers also help cultivate and solicit leadership donors to The Fund with gifts of $5,000 or more as part of the 1903 Society.

We meet to continue our friendships, discuss parenting issues, make care packages for our children, attend the REPALS Book Club, keep informed through RE-sponsored lectures, and partake in other fun events.
