The goal of the MARMION FUND Class Adjutant program is to significantly increase alumni participation. While the MARMION FUND raising program has had many successful years, highlighted by the recent success of the Campaign for Marmion Abbey and Academy, alumni participation – the number of annual alumni donors – has been disappointing. It is just over one half of the rate for independent schools – 13.2 % versus 17 %.

The goal is increasing the number of annual donors. A high level of alumni participation can drive the entire development program. When others – parents, friends and Trustees – see the level of alumni participation increasing they are encouraged to do more. As a Class Adjutant you will be a critical part of the MARMION FUND and, indeed, Marmion’s entire fund raising effort.
