Help Gerard Attend The McCallie School

Hi, my name is Gerard Branch Pridgeon. My family and I are reaching out with a hopeful heart and a big dream.

I’ve recently been accepted to The McCallie School, an all boys boarding school in Chattanooga, TN. I plan to be immersed in a world of opportunities such as coding (a subject I’ve been passionate about for years), leadership, and independent growth. This opportunity means the world to me—it's the first big step toward becoming the strong and focused person I know I was put here to evolve into.

But as excited as I am, we are still seeking additional support with the remaining funds to assist the financial burden is overwhelming. Between tuition, books, housing, transportation, and other living expenses, the costs are more than we can afford on our own. Despite receiving a significant scholarship, combined with family assistance, there's still a gap I need help covering.

This is where I humbly ask for your support. Every dollar raised will go directly toward my education and living expenses while I’m in school. Whether it’s $5 or $50, your generosity will help me focus on my studies and keep moving toward a brighter future.

I promise to work hard, stay dedicated, and make the most of this opportunity. I hope one day I can pay it forward and help others the way you’re helping me.

Thank you so much for reading, donating, or even just sharing this with others. It truly means the world.

With gratitude,

Gerard B. Pridgeon
