Our goal is to raise $18,790.00 and provide our Cadets with the best possible opportunities for a lifetime of brotherhood and leadership in the modern era. Further, we see this as a moment to highlight our heritage and strengthen relationships with our alumni, parents, grandparents, and friends of Fishburne as we march to our 150th anniversary in 2029.

Give a Gift of Securities
Gifts of appreciated securities are a great way to transmit assets to Fishburne as charitable contributions. For stocks held in brokerage accounts, your broker can assist you in making a gift of stock via a direct transfer to Fishburne Military School. Giving a gift of publicly traded stock which has increased in value and has been owned for more than one year may provide better tax benefits than giving cash. If you would like to make a gift of appreciated stock, please contact at (540) 946-7700 x119 or alumni@fishburne.org.
Matching Gifts
Many companies will match your philanthropic contributions to increase the value of your gift. Please check with your company’s human resources department to see if they will match your gift. If you have any questions, please contact Alumni Affairs at (540) 946-7700 x119 or by email at Alumni@Fishburne.org.
