The Amici Fund is the foundation of fundraising at Woodberry. This year, contributions from alumni, parents, grandparents, and friends totaled more than $3.89 million, the third highest amount in school history. The alumni participation rate, which historically ranks among the highest for schools and colleges in the country, exceeded 60 percent for the ninth year in a row. Additionally, more than 96 percent of current parents made a gift, a clear indication of their confidence in the school.
These extraordinary results can be attributed to the dedication of the hundreds of volunteers who worked tirelessly this year, including trustees, Advisory Council members, class volunteers, regional chapter board members, and parent committee volunteers.
