On November 12, our school community - including parents, alumni, trustees, faculty, staff, grandparents, and friends - united to support our "One Day for St. Luke's" 24-hour giving challenge.
We received an extraordinary $668,645 in gifts and pledges (and still counting)! This includes $190,000 in generous challenge grants. Additionally, 301 members of our community were inspired to make a commitment.
Each gift received during “One Day for St. Luke’s” is directed to the St. Luke's Fund, providing essential, unrestricted support that ignites the potential within every student.
“This historic outpouring of support reflects our community's unwavering commitment to unlocking student potential," said Cindy Dill, Associate Director of Development. "This was truly a transformative day that will have an immediate and lasting impact on the Hilltop."
Head of School Mary Halpin Carter shared, “The extraordinary generosity shown during 'One Day for St. Luke's' is a testament to the deep pride and passion our community has for our school. These gifts will unlock new opportunities to nurture the unique talents of every St. Luke's student, empowering them to reach their full potential. Thank you!”
