Dear Friend,

We’re so glad you’re here!

The Imperial Guard Alumnae (IGA) is a heartfelt sisterhood made up of former members of Houston’s S.P. Waltrip High School Imperial Guard—an all-girl drum and bugle organization that proudly served the school and community from 1960 to 1982.

Today, we’ve evolved into a vibrant nonprofit organization with a mission to keep the spirit, legacy, and ideals of the Guard alive—integrity, achievement, growth, and teamwork.

Through the years, we’ve continued to make a difference in the lives of others by giving students scholarships, helping with clothing, food, as well as giving encouragement to the faculty. To date, we have assisted more than 300 students with their higher education as well as vocational aspirations.

Waltrip students and families are in need of clothing and food and we try to address this need as we can. We need your help in all areas so we can make a difference for their today as well as their tomorrow.

We also provide both financial and moral support to S.P. Waltrip High School and the Rambling Roses, the current girls’ organization. The IGA was instrumental in representation and advocacy during the renovations at Waltrip, keeping history alive as well as bringing the building into the modern age.

We are fostering friendship, personal development, and teamwork among our members through collaborative projects and initiatives. Meeting together for lunch regularly, we enjoy sharing and recalling the fun times of high school.

We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished, and we’re excited about what lies ahead. With your support, we can continue expanding our impact through scholarships and community engagement. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit; every contribution helps us plant seeds of hope, opportunity, and connection—and all donations are tax deductible.

Thank you for being part of our story and continued success.

Cindy Reibenstein ’72
