We did it! With Palo Peirce IV '12's gift, we have surpassed our 1,907 donor goal...and received a matching gift of $100,000 from a generous trustee!
With only a few hours left, why stop at 1,907 donors? There are still several class-based challenges for alumni and parents, so don’t miss out on these amazing opportunities to amplify your gift.
Let’s keep the momentum going!
