We’re celebrating the love that carries Friends across time zones, generations, and life chapters. Whether you’re down the block or across the globe, your gift to the Fund for Friends helps sustain the spirit, care, and possibility that define this community.

The We Love Friends Challenge, held February 12–19, raised $140,000 in gifts and pledges — far exceeding an anonymous donor’s challenge to match up to $50,0000 in gifts and pledges. A total of $190,000 was raised during the week-long challenge."Every dollar raised supports our wonderful students and teachers," said Ashley Warmack, Director of Annual Giving. "We are grateful for this remarkable show of support."

This momentum energizes volunteers and staff to continue their efforts to grow the Fund for Friends in the second half of the academic year. If you made a gift to the Fund for Friends, thank you! If not, click here to make your gift today. The 2025-26 Fund for Friends closes on June 30.
