Cape Fear Academy Alumni

Think back to the moments that made your CFA experience unforgettable: the teacher who believed in you, the friends who became family, the pride of wearing the jersey, the spark of discovery in class. Those moments are part of your story. 💙

Now it is the next generation’s turn. This week is CFA’s Annual Phonathon, and we’re asking you to say yes! Yes to investing in today’s students, yes to continuing a legacy of excellence, and yes to helping every Hurricane discover what is possible. 🌟

We had a blast last Friday at the very first CFA Alumni Tennis Classic! It was great to see so many alumni back on our tennis courts. Our players are just as talented as they’ve always been! We hope to continue this tradition for years to come.

Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday—a special day to support organizations that mean the most to you. As you consider giving, we hope CFA is top of mind! Your contributions help sustain the legacy you’ve built, including programs like our outstanding tennis program. 🎾✨
