Why I Give

Over the 40+ years since our founding of University Prep, I have witnessed countless parents, faculty, staff, and community members work tirelessly and selflessly to further the mission of the school with their gifts of time, money, and talents. I am humbled by the depths of this dedicated support. I give because I honor those of the past, present, and future who come to school each day to learn and teach, to support and share, and to dream and achieve."

As a graduate, I benefit every day from my experience at UPrep. As a current parent, I am privileged to see this inclusive community in action once again. The Puma Fund supports the faculty's creativity in connecting with each and every student, resulting in a more dynamic curriculum and, ultimately, a higher level of learning. I give so all UPrep students can receive a personalized education." 

Confidence-building has been a theme at UPrep over many years. We have witnessed our daughter (Class of 2025) thrive in UPrep's environment, and we eagerly anticipate watching her and her sister (Class of 2027) find and pursue their passions in the school's myriad opportunities. We give so that UPrep can continue to provide these enriching experiences to its entire student body, now and in the years to come."

I give to University Prep because I believe in our school's mission. Our community's commitment to fostering intellectual courage and social responsibility centers all of our educational experiences and relationships we build with our students and each other. University Prep continues to draw some of the most talented professionals and thoughtful students because of its inspiring mission."

We love the fact that UPrep offers so many wonderful and diverse opportunities to grow and thrive. My older daughter is able to pursue her passion in Economics via the elective class offerings, participate in conferences for Model UN club, while my younger daughter is competing in cross country for the first time. All of this is made possible thanks to the Puma Fund!"

I give to UPrep because UPrep gave so much to me; a love of learning, confidence in my strengths, and the confidence to work through my struggles. Looking back on my time now, I see that UPrep cared for me beyond what I knew I needed and I can still feel the warmth of the community. I am an educator today because I saw and felt the impact that UPrep's amazing educators had on me. I will be forever grateful for my education and I am a very proud Puma!"
