The Amici Fund has always provided direct, immediate support to Woodberry students, faculty, and staff. That was true this spring when the COVID-19 pandemic and state health orders forced a rapid change from in-person education to online classes. Amici gifts made it possible to purchase classroom cameras and online software subscriptions, to host boys stranded by flight cancellations or border closures, and to invest in protective equipment for essential employees who kept coming to work to keep the school running.
This marked the fifth consecutive year that alumni participation has exceeded 60 percent, with gifts of all sizes from every corner of the Tiger community. Woodberry continues to enjoy the highest alumni participation rate of any independent school in the country, an ongoing demonstration of graduates’ devotion to their alma mater. Parents, grandparents, and other friends also gave generously.
Amici’s success is built on consistent, steady support from a wide range of people giving a wide range of gifts. And those essential gifts went right to work supporting the school’s essential operations as it continues to serve and educate boys.
