One Day for Berkshire. One day to make a difference. One day to inspire our Bears.
Join the Berkshire School community near and far for an epic climb on Wednesday, April 20, our annual day of giving!
When 1,907 donors make a gift to the Annual Fund, $100,000 will be unlocked in support of Berkshire.
Behind the scenes, the Annual Fund plays a leading role in every Berkshire experience. This is your opportunity to directly impact the lives of students, faculty, and staff under the Mountain as we best prepare our Bears for the world ahead.
Participation matters. With a gift of any size, let's climb together to make this year's One Day for Berkshire another record-breaking success.
Thank you in advance for showing your Berkshire pride on Wednesday, April 20. Go Bears!

An anonymous sixth form parent has just now offered an incredibly generous matching opportunity in honor of the Class of 2022.
For a limited time, every One Day gift from a sixth form parent will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $50,000!
While the overall goal for the Senior Parent Challenge remains the same—80% participation unlocks $80,000 for Berkshire—this additional matching opportunity adds a timely incentive. If you havenโt already, please consider making your One Day gift now!
