Lead the Way

Lead the Way Giving Week 
Help us reach over 65% Parent and 15% Alumni participation by April 11!
About Lead the Way

From Monday, April 7, to Friday, April 11, we’re celebrating Lead the Way Giving Week—a five-day challenge dedicated to increasing both parent and alumni participation in the Casady Annual Fund. This initiative is all about collective impact, where every gift, no matter the size, helps strengthen our school.

Our goal is to reach 65% or higher parent participation and increase alumni participation to 15%, aligning with peer schools in the ISAS community.
Why Participate

Your participation isn’t just about reaching a percentage—it’s about showing support for Casady and its students. Every gift, no matter the size, directly impacts our school by providing essential resources for academic programs, faculty development, and student experiences.

When parents and alumni come together, we strengthen the foundation of our school and demonstrate the power of community giving. Schools in the ISAS community often reach 60-70% parent participation and 20% alumni participation—let’s rise to the challenge and show our Cyclone pride.

Your participation sends a powerful message that you believe in Casady’s mission and the future of its students. Every gift counts. Every donor makes a difference.
