Reunions are a wonderful time to celebrate the opportunities you had as students, to honor those who helped you on your journey and to invest in the current and future students of Cranbrook Schools. You can take this opportunity to make a gift in honor/memory of a faculty member or classmate who was instrumental in your time at the schools. We will send a notification to them or their family that you made a gift in their honor. Your gift will make a difference for the current students and faculty of Cranbrook Schools.
