In celebration of NCS’s 125th anniversary, we invite our entire community to come together for a 125-hour giving challenge—an opportunity to unlock bold and boundless possibilities for young women to enact positive change and to make a meaningful impact in the world.
From now through Friday, April 17, every hour matters—and every gift moves us closer to something extraordinary.
Join us in making these 125 hours count:
- Make a gift in support of the Purple & Gold Fund Spring Challenge and help us reach our goal of $600,000.
- Create a challenge or match to inspire others to give.
- Rally your classmates, fellow parents and guardians, and friends to join you and make a gift.
Together we can turn 125 hours into meaningful impact for our students today.
Questions? Contact Jen Leydig at jleydig@ncs.org.
Thank you to our donors, volunteers, and advocates!
Stay tuned for final results.
199 days ago by Jen LeydigWe are less than $100,000 away from reaching $475,000 raised. This will unlock an additional $125,000 in gifts, bringing us to our overall goal of raising $600,000!
We need your help to make that happen. Give now and spread the word!
With just over a day left, we are over halfway to our goal of $600,000. And we can fast track our way there by getting to $475,000 and a group of generous donors will get us to our goal with gifts totaling $125,000.
If you have not already, please make your gift, share this challenge, and inspire others to give!

This strong start has inspired Betsy Holleman Burke ’60, P’98, GP’20, ’25, ’26; Jody Jonsson ’81 and Eric Jonsson; Betsy and Mike Keeley P’23; and an anonymous donor to come together to offer an additional $125,000, which will be unlocked if our community reaches $475,000 by the end of the challenge!
Every gift gets us closer.
We are so excited that we completed the $125,000 match! We have raised over $250,000 so far. Thank you to every person that contributed to make it happen!
