EVENTS

We are excited to launch this year’s alumni annual giving campaign in honor of TMI’s 130th Anniversary! Together, let’s celebrate with 130 Days of Giving!

Our goals, over the next 130 days, are to increase participation and to raise $130,000 through alumni giving. To date, because of the generosity of our alumni family, we are proud to announce that we have already raised $75,000 toward the TMI Fund. 

The TMI Fund supports ALL aspects of our school and impacts students, teachers, academics, athletics, fine arts, Corps of Cadets, extracurricular activities, facilities, safety, grounds, technology, and more at TMI. 

Please join us in support of your alma mater by making a donation in honor of TMI’s 130th anniversary by donating a variation of 130. Example: $13, $30, $130, $1,300, $13,000 or more!

Every gift of every size is welcome, meaningful, and greatly appreciated. Together, we can ensure that the TMI we have loved for 130 years continues to remain a place of excellence for generations to come. We have 130 days until May 31 to reach our goal and we need your help!

TMI is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, and all donations are tax deduction eligible. If you have not made your annual gift to TMI this school year, please consider joining us in being ALL IN by donating to the 2023-2024 TMI Fund. 

Thank you for your continued generosity and commitment to advancing the mission of TMI. Every Panther, every year, makes a difference!
