Landon Parent Participation Challenge -BOOST THE BEAR!

BOOST THE BEAR Parent Challenge extended one more week! Please make your gift by April 8th.

During the month of March, we are challenging the Landon Parent community to reach 100% participation in the Landon Fund. Simply put, the challenge is about your family's participation. If you have not yet made a gift this year, please consider a gift or pledge to support our boys and faculty. If your family has already made an annual gift, thank you! You will be counted. If you have multiple sons at Landon, your participation will count for each boy's grade.

Tell me more about Annual Giving: The Landon Fund is the school's annual giving program and part of Landon's Capital Campaign. At Landon, we rely on the annual giving program to bridge the gap between the revenue raised through tuition and the total cost of educating every student. All parents, as well as faculty, alumni, past parents, grandparents and friends are asked to come together annually to show their support. The direct beneficiaries of the money we raise each year are your boy(s).

Why Parent Support Matters: Parent giving dollars makes up more than one third of our total Landon Fund goal each year. Additionally, alumni, prospective parents, corporations and foundations look at the percent of parents who give as a vote of confidence when they invest in the school. Landon has been steadily increasing its parent participation levels the last few years. Let's keep moving these levels UP. Give what you can, but please give.

Will my small donation really matter? Yes. All donations add up. Every dollar makes a difference to the many investments we make all year. If one hundred parents give $100, that's $10,000 to fund a need(s) in our classrooms, libraries, athletic and art departments.

Thank you everyone for your participation and support!
