During OneWoodberry we received more than 1,500 gifts in a twenty-four-hour period, as well as another 2,000 gifts that arrived in the days leading up to the event. Our success on that special day in March unlocked a more than $500,000 challenge gift from a group of parents and alumni.
At the core of OneWoodberry is an incredible, dedicated network of volunteers. More than four hundred alumni and parents give their time and energy throughout the year to make the Amici Fund a success, and OneWoodberry is the culmination of those efforts.
The class of 1963 raised the most dollars during OneWoodberry, contributing more than $161,000. Following behind were the classes of 1974, 1977, and 1985.
Though classes of all ages enjoyed phenomenal days, special recognition is in order for the class of 2017, which had by far its biggest day of participation ever and logged ninety gifts, and the class of 2020, which reached seventy-one gifts in its first year as members of the alumni community.
Since we held the first OneWoodberry in 2017, the program has become a national model for independent schools. Though this year’s event took on a different form due to the pandemic, it once again showed the unwavering loyalty of the Woodberry community.
