The Sycamore Fund
For 40 years, and for more than 2,000 alumni, Sycamore has been the beginning of an
incredible story. A Big Ten basketball captain, a Harvard Law School graduate, and a Navy
fighter pilot are just a few of the successful adults who got their start at Sycamore. These,
and other stories of achievement, were made possible with help from the Sycamore Fund.
When you invest in Sycamore, you enable our gifted students to receive a first-class
education focused on their needs. You contribute to things like technology improvements,
academic and athletic teams, field trips and speakers, outdoor labs, performing and visual
arts, and financial assistance.
All members of the Sycamore community are asked to consider making a meaningful
commitment between July 1 and June 30. Pledges may be paid in installments at any time
during the fiscal year.
Join with others today to ensure that the Sycamore story continues for the next 40 years
and beyond. On behalf of all of the families who will be affected by your contribution to
Sycamore, we thank you!
