Ramble 2025: May God Hold You

On behalf of the students who benefit from our Tuition Assistance Program, thank you.

On Saturday, March 15, you rallied with LA parents, alumni, and friends, who attended Ramble 2025 in person or participated online from across the U.S. Your belief in our mission and support of our Tuition Assistance Program transform lives.

Don't miss your chance to become a Guardian Angel and make a lasting difference in the lives of deserving Ramblers by helping families with tuition, textbooks, iPads, uniforms, and more.

Congratulations to Christina Hardin P '24, '27, our 2025 Ramble Raffle winner of a 2025 BMW X1 xDrive28i, courtesy of Patrick Cars. 

Mark your calendars - Ramble 2026 will be held on Saturday, March 21.
