Memorials
We are thankful for the many Trinity donors who chose to remember their loved ones or pay respects to those who have departed this earth. We lost many integral, memorable figures who were invaluable to the legacy of Trinity this past year. Their impact will live on through these gifts and the children at Trinity who will benefit. “O God, the Maker and Redeemer of all believers: Grant to the faithful departed the unsearchable benefits of the passion of your Son; that on the day of His appearing they may be manifested as your children; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.”

Spring Event Trinity Episcopal School
This year, our annual Spring Event, “Under the Neon Moon” took place on Friday, April 5, 2024 at the Dargan & Tobyn Event Center on the Strand. Thanks to sponsorships and underwriting, silent and live auctions, and 250 attendees, this casual yet celebratory, sold-out occasion raised a record-breaking $92,220.95 for our school! Guests were entertained by live music performances by Theron Pfeifer and Gary Kyle, mechanical bull rides, and fashionable stylings by the Hat Chick. Catering by Chopin Mon Ami and bartending by BOI Entertainment was enjoyed by all.

Trinity Episcopal School Scholarships
This was another exciting year for scholarships, with the Samuel Mixon & Mason Nelson Memorial Scholarship entering its second year. Originally established in the spring of 2023 by Trinity’s National Junior Honor Society, the scholarship is awarded to 6th or 7th grade students during Honors Day as a Character Award, with recipients nominated by their peers. We also continue to present the Benjamin Duke Davis Scholarship to a 5th grade student who demonstrates a strong interest and excellence in math and science.

Now in its fifth consecutive year, these generous donors gathered once again for a special reception to celebrate the accomplishments of our Annual Fund Program and hear updates on Trinity Episcopal School. This year’s Charger Champions Club reception was held on September 25th at Riondo's Ristorante Upstairs. We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined us for this memorable evening.
