Dear Friends of The Cape Eleuthera Foundation and The Island School,

It is with tremendous gratitude and excitement that I share this special edition of the Campaign Insider Update, following our incredible On the Horizon celebration on October 24th at the New England Aquarium.

What an extraordinary evening it was! Bringing together alumni, families, friends, and supporters from across The Island School community reminded us of the power of our shared experiences and the connections that continue to bring us together. It was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate more than 25 years of transformative education, research, conservation, and leadership, while looking ahead to the people, possibilities, and vision shaping The Island School’s future.

Reaching the $30 million milestone in our Rising TIDE Campaign is a testament to the strength of this community and the trust you have placed in our leadership and vision for the future. As we celebrate this achievement and officially enter the public phase of the campaign, we are excited to open the circle even wider and invite our entire community to be part of what comes next.

And the celebration is just beginning! We look forward to bringing that same energy and excitement to your region through a series of local events and gatherings with old friends and new faces this winter. Stay tuned for more information.

In this update, we share our campaign progress and celebrate the incredible milestone we have reached together. But more importantly, we hope to show you the impact of our community’s generosity. You’ll find updates on our programs, campus improvements, research, and the many ways we continue to advance our mission, Leadership Effecting Change.

Thank you for your belief in The Island School and the incredible power of our mission to help young people discover their true potential and share it widely. We have so much to celebrate, and even more to look forward to as we work together to ensure The Island School continues to inspire and transform lives for generations to come.
