The Mary Elizabeth Williams Endowed Alumni Scholarship Fund, established in 2002, offers financial assistance to qualified students of alumni who would otherwise not be able to afford an ESD education. Mary blessed us all with her time, talent, gifts, and her service to The Episcopal School of Dallas. She loved her family, her friends, and she had a distinct love for our school. She was our friend, our teacher, and our fellow alum. Your participation in these tournaments honors Mary and her legacy at ESD. Don’t miss out on these exciting events celebrating the life of our dear friend Mary. All alumni player proceeds will benefit the Mary Elizabeth Williams Endowed Alumni Scholarship Fund.
The Booster Club’s mission is to support athletics in our school community by promoting and fostering school spirit, encouraging participation by parents, and, most importantly, funding numerous projects designed to enhance the wellness and athletic curriculum of Lower, Middle, and Upper School students. Booster Club funds are used to support the Athletic Tuition Assistance Program, which extends beyond traditional tuition assistance by providing deserving families financial aid for athletic fees, equipment or apparel, and travel costs deemed important to a student’s athletic experience. All current parent player proceeds will benefit the Booster Club.

Reunion Registry
ESD has created a registry that allows you to make a gift toward current programs and projects that mean the most to you. The registry lists items across eight categories that you can "purchase” to help support students, faculty, and staff members through your tax-deductible gift.
The programming, opportunities, supplies, and resources in the below categories are funded through annual gifts made to The ESD Fund. The ESD Fund, or annual fund, is an integral part of the school’s operating budget, helping to fund operational expenses that are not fully covered by tuition and fees. All gifts received are fully expended in the year in which they are received.
Giving to The ESD Fund ensures that the school can attract and support excellent faculty and staff, retain the best and brightest students, and offer dynamic programming and technology inside of the classroom and beyond.
Your gift helps to Ignite Lives of Purpose within our ESD community and significantly impacts our alumni legacy of generosity for the next generation of students.
