Current Family Class Captains play a vital role in increasing support and education for The Peddie Fund, the school’s top philanthropic priority. The Peddie Fund provides unrestricted, current-use dollars that fuel virtually every facet of the Peddie experience, sustaining small class sizes, dedicated faculty, robust programs, and a vibrant community.

As ambassadors for The Peddie Fund, Current Family Class Captains serve as lead fundraisers for their assigned class. Through peer-to-peer outreach, they help educate current families about the importance of participation in The Peddie Fund and how their support directly benefits students, faculty, and staff members. If you would like to learn more, please get in touch with engage@peddie.org.
