Day of Giving 2024: That’s a wrap! 🎉

Wow! Day of Giving 2024 has concluded and it was a tremendous success. Thank you for making this day a victory for the red and gray!

The community rallied from all over, with supporters sending contributions from 32 states, Washington, D.C., the U.K., and China.

Special thanks go to Hawken’s Day of Giving Advocates, who contacted friends and family and secured numerous contributions. Their hard work pushed us over the finish line.

We’re still tallying the results, and will share the final stats soon. In the meantime, thank you for giving our students the gift of a lifetime!
