From complex and facility naming to specific space designation, the "Greatest Names in Sports" donors have secured their name in the legacy of the Oakridge Athletic Complex. Through the generous giving of families, teachers, students, and other Oakridge community members, we now have top-of-the-line facilities for our teams to host games and practices. "Gifts to the OAC allow all of our student-athletes the opportunity to practice and play on and in first-class facilities. The life lessons learned on the fields or courts of play are crucial to personal growth and development." says Shawn Meadows, Athletic Director. 

Thank you to the donors listed below who have supported the Oakridge Athletic Complex to date ( August 31, 2021). We have made every effort to give proper credit to all who have contributed to The Oakridge School Oakridge Athletic Complex. We regret any errors or omissions and request that any such oversight be shared with Lauren Matocha, Director of Development.

The Owl Club’s mission is to promote school spirit, character development, and the physical well-being of our students through financial and other forms of support for Physical Education and Athletic programs in every division. The Owl Club welcomes new members and volunteers. Most importantly, we have great fun attending the games and showing our school spirit for our fine athletes and coaches and for the entire Oakridge family. The Owl Club raises money through memberships, concession sales, merchandise sales from the Spirit Store, and the annual Oakridge Golf Classic. Proceeds from fundraising efforts are used to purchase needed equipment and necessities for our physical education programs (age 3—grade 6) and our athletic teams (gr. 7-12). The Owl Club also provides food, volunteers and/or support for athletic events, and dinner for officials for all the home football games.

 The Owl Club was proud to allocate the following:

 

The Owl Club Executive Board
Dennis Brown, President
Jennifer Tompkins, Membership
Jennifer Tompkins, Merchandise

The largest fundraising opportunity comes in the spring, in the form of the annual Oakridge Golf Classic. Proceeds are used to purchase needed equipment and necessities for our physical education programs for ages 3 through grade 6, and our athletic teams for grades 7-12. On May 3, 2021, 33 teams of golfers enjoyed a beautiful day of golf at Walnut Creek Country Club in Mansfield, Texas.

Of all of the fundraising events during the year, The Oakridge School Super Supper & Auction commands the biggest guest list and the loudest celebration.  An Evening on the Red Carpet raised more than $150,000 for the operating budget. Jeanne Curtis chaired the virtual event in a very unusual year.  The auction serves a purpose every year in that it meets the School’s operating needs while providing a fantastic gathering for the Owl community. Special thanks to the sponsors/underwriters, attendees, and auction donors.

The Oakridge Parents' Club enriches the lives of the students and families at The Oakridge School by planning and hosting memorable grade level, divisional, and campus wide events. Members and volunteers generously give their time and resources. Fundraising done through membership dues, Uniform Resale events, and Boosterthon, allow the OPC to host events and give back to the school. 

The Oakridge Parents' Club (OPC) hosted their annual fundraiser, Boosterthon, and it was a great success! Along with the proceeds form memberships and Book Fair, the OPC was able to allocate $44,000 back to the school for various campus and program needs.

Opportunities to Give

Annual Fund
Annual contributions are the most direct way you can support The Oakridge School’s tradition of academic excellence. The Annual Fund secures vital unrestricted funds that go directly into the operating budget to support Oakridge’s teaching programs, meet highest priority needs, and provide seed money for important new initiatives. Tuition covers approximately 95% of the operating budget; consequently, the Annual Fund helps make up the difference between the cost of tuition and the actual cost of educating each student.

Capital Campaigns
Capital campaigns are conducted to provide significant funds for growth such as endowment, construction/renovation, or extensive equipment purchases. Contributions are generally pledged over three to five years.

Gifts to Endowment
The Oakridge School’s endowment is a collection of various restricted and unrestricted endowment and scholarship funds. While endowments are established through sizable initial gifts, they also grow through smaller ongoing gifts. Endowment is an independent school’s savings account and provides a reliable source of income in perpetuity.

Planned Giving
The Oakridge School greatly encourages and appreciates future gifts made through one’s estate. Bequests are the most common way for donors to make their ultimate gift to the school. If you are interested in learning more about gift planning, we are happy to help you determine how and when to make a gift and with what assets.

Securities, Property, Real Estate
Gifts of Appreciated Securities, Stocks, and Bonds provide considerable tax advantages when transferred to The Oakridge School.

Matching Gifts
Many employers match gifts made by their current, as well as retired, employees. This is a simple way to double your gift to The Oakridge School. Contact your employer or human resources offices for the form needed to match your gift to Oakridge and let us know that a matching gift will be coming.

Restricted or In-Kind Gifts
You may wish to earmark your gift for a specific area of the school. We will be happy to designate your gift toward a specific division or project.

Gifts can be made in many ways: online, by phone, by mail, gifts of stock, donor advised funds, and matching gifts.
