Nearly half a million dollars. That's how much one anonymous donor has given to the Birmingham- and Bloomfield-based Roeper School and beginning this summer, this money will fund the renovation of Roeper's Birmingham campus.

The school learned of the donation, which was attached to the renovation project, in mid-December. Roeper's Birmingham campus — housed in the former Adams School off Adams Road in the Poppleton Park neighborhood — serves as home to Roeper's middle school and high school-age students. Roeper will spend the money to completely renovate the interior of the …

The new fund created by a pair of Roeper parents will be used to subsidize the costs of tournament appearances and pay for assistant coaching positions.
The Birmingham- and Bloomfield Hills-based Roeper School has received $100,000 for the school's forensics and debate program.
