💚 One Day for Berkshire
Our goal is 1,440 donors—one for every minute of the day. Thursday, February 12, join the Berkshire community for our 11th One Day for Berkshire.
This year, there is an even greater reason to give: The Match That Moves Us. Thanks to the generosity of a loyal alumni family, all eligible gifts to the 2025-2026 Annual Fund will be matched dollar for dollar.
Whether you are:
- Giving for the first time
- Joining The 1907 Society
- Returning after time away
- Or increasing your support from last fiscal year
This match is a powerful way to stretch your impact even further for Berkshire and our Bears.
🐻 Participation is always at the heart of One Day for Berkshire! A gift of any size helps us to reach our goal and ensures this year’s giving day is a success for our entire community. You can donate to any Annual Fund area(s) you are passionate about, no matter the amount, and help unlock various challenges. When combined, all donations make an incredible, collective impact for Berkshire! All donors will receive a One Day for Berkshire sticker!
💚 One Day. One Match. One Berkshire. 💚
