Malvern Collegiate Institute Alumni Association

The MRBS receives all of its funding from Malvern-related donors, mainly alumni, as well as from occasional government grants for such projects as the Cenotaph. Donors can make contributions directly to the MRBS for maintaining the Society, or via the Onward Malvern Foundation’s CanadaHelps web page for school-related purposes and projects which require tax receipts. You can designate your gift for a specific purpose.

This organization exists to raise funds for the current needs of the school and its students not covered by other sources. These include items such as sports equipment or facilities, music extra-curricular, art extra-curricular, annual scholarships, and exit (graduation) scholarships. The OMF also accepts donations and issues tax receipts for projects of the Malvern Red and Black Society. We are also launching a new campaign to restore the Malvern Cenotaph in time for the 100th anniversary of its dedication in 1922.

While we have set aside donations for specific purposes, such as the Sequester Project and the Big Book restoration, we cannot continue our work under these circumstances. (continue reading…)

Malvern Collegiate, an 111-year-old high school in the Upper Beach, is doing its part to honour those from the school who served in the Second World War, which Canada officially entered 75 years ago on Sept. 10, 1939, declaring war on Germany.
