About

The Providence Day community is coming together once again for our annual Giving Day, to celebrate and honor the incredible faculty and staff who are truly #BehindEveryCharger. This year, we’re aiming for 374 gifts—one for every amazing faculty and staff member on campus—and we need YOU to help us reach our goal!

With each gift, our Charger community will have the chance to leave a personal note to the faculty and staff who shaped their family’s PD journey.

❤️💙 Make your gift go further with these challenge and matching gifts! ❤️💙

⭐️ Behind Every Charger $20,000 Challenge: If we reach our goal of 374 donors for Giving Day 2026, a $20,000 gift from two generous Charger families will be unlocked for Providence Day. Nancy and Bruce Downing (Alumni Parents ’12, ’14, ’17, ’19) and Debbie Hyde Ricks ’02 and Collin Ricks ’02 (Current Parents ‘33, ‘40) believe in the strength of our community and invite everyone to give in honor of our incredible faculty and staff who make a lasting difference in the lives of our students each day.

⭐️ Generations of Impact $10,000 Challenge: Linda and Bill Swayne (Alumni Parents ’91, ’93 and Grandparents ’25, ’27) and Kimberly and Shawn Paulk (Alumni Parents ’21) will donate $100 for each of the first 100 grandparents and alumni parents who give any amount.

Parent Grade Level Challenges: Parents have unique opportunities to increase the impact of their Giving Day gift through grade-level specific challenges. Scroll down to see which challenges are available for your child’s grade(s) and how you can help your grade level reach its goal.

🌟 Overachiever Challenge: Alumni, receive extra credit for making your gift early! The Board of Alumni will make a $25 gift to PD for the first 100 alumni who give on Giving Day.

🎓 Young Alumni Challenge: The Board of Alumni is challenging 50 alumni from the classes of 2016-2025 to make a gift of any amount. Once the goal is met, an additional $2,026 will be unlocked in honor of the Class of 2026!
