Major Support for Scholarship and Athletics
This spring semester, the HWS community contributed more than $1.3 million during two 24-hour fundraising events.
The annual Athletics Day of Donors and Scholarship Day of Donors each concluded with an overwhelming show of support from the HWS community. With nearly 4,000 participants in the February and April fundraisers, HWS surpassed the donor goals and raised north of $1.35 million on behalf of athletics and scholarships.
“The incredible philanthropy underscores how important stewardship is in supporting our vibrant community,” says Vice President for Advancement Bob O’Connor P’22, P’23. “Behind every gift is a donor whose generosity has a meaningful impact on future generations of HWS students. We extend our heartfelt appreciation to everyone who participated, along with our staff, alumni and parent leadership.”
The fundraising totals include challenge gifts from Cynthia L. Caird L.H.D. ’12; Trustee John H. Hogan III ’88 and Margaret Massey Hogan ’88; John Manley ’64, P’93; Trustee Andrew McMaster ’74, P’09; Trustee Eric J. Stein ’89; and the Parents Executive Committee.
Students expressed their gratitude with hundreds of handwritten notes to faculty and staff who made a positive impact on their HWS journey.
