Why Give?

A Gift of Financial Support to Fishburne is Far More Than Just a Pledge of Money

It is an investment in the future of our one-of-a-kind school.

It is validation of our original mission “…to Forge Educated, Honorable Young Men of Courage.”

It is a demonstration of thanks from parents, former parents, and loyal alumni.

It is evidence from community supporters across the country that we meet an essential need.

It is direct funding to our many scholarships.

Each year, our alumni, faculty, grandparents, parents and friends choose to make an investment in our cadets and community. They give to show thanks. They give because they see a need. They give because they see what could be.
