Friends, today is the day! I made my gift to the Westtown Fund on this first annual 1799 Day, joining the community of donors showing their support for today’s Westonians. This has been a challenging year and gifts will provide essential support toward Westtown's commitment to ensure that today’s students can fully partake in a robust experience. We are on our way to meeting our goal of 222 donors —in honor of Westtown’s 222nd year— and unlocking significant matching challenge funds from other generous donors, too.  If you are in a position to make a gift and would like it to count toward our campaign goal, please visit the 1799 Day Campaign page now to make a meaningful impact by making your gift before midnight (EST) tonight! #Westtown1799Day
