ALL IN for the PREP! Giving Day 2026

What an incredible day! The generosity of the St. John’s Prep community has once again blown us away. In just 24 hours, we raised over $680,000 for the Fund for St. John’s, directly benefiting Prep students, faculty and staff, and programs.

This was a true team effort—more than 1,450 alumni, parents, grandparents, faculty and staff, trustees, students, and friends joined in. We set a new Giving Day record and surpassed our goal of one donor for every student.

A special shout-out to the Class of 2016 for leading the way with 33 donors, the most of any alumni class!

A heartfelt thank you to our matching challenge donors, whose generosity helped push us to new heights:

• Laura and Kurt Brown ‘99 P’32
• Lori and Jay Burke ‘82 P’13
• Tracey and Neil Burke ‘87 P’24 ‘26
• Pat Connaughton (‘11) Foundation

• Rosemary and Jim Phalen ‘68
• Patrick Riley ‘66 P’05
• PJ Solomon P’26 ‘28
• An alumnus from the Class of ‘78
• An alumnus from the Class of ‘86

Your support strengthens everything we do at St. John’s Prep. Thank you for going ALL IN!

What a Giving Day it's been today at SJP so far - but we aren't done yet!

We are SO CLOSE to reaching our goal of one donor for every student at St. John's Prep - 1,430 donors for 1,430 students! This would be a record breaking Giving Day and you can be the ones to help us get there.

We need just 100 more donors to reach this goal.

Will you go ALL IN, support St. John's Prep today, and help us reach our goal?

We’re not done yet! If we can get one donor for every SJP student, Maj. Gen. Tom Needham (Ret.) '60, Patrick Riley ‘66 P’05, and Lori and Jay Burke ‘82 P’13 will contribute $25,000 to the Fund for St. John’s.

That’s just 420 more people to give today—and we’ll have a total of 1,430 donors!

With 5 hours remaining, YOU can help St. John’s unlock $25,000 for Prep students! Whether you give $5, $20, or more, your participation will get us one donor closer to our goal.

Let's go ALL IN, St. John's!

We’re more than halfway towards reaching our goal of 1,430 donors! If we can get one donor for every Prep student, Maj. Gen. Tom Needham (Ret.) ’60, Patrick Riley ’66 P’05, and Lori and Jay Burke ’82 P’13 will contribute $25,000 to the Fund for St. John’s!

Will YOU be one of them?

Whether you give $5, $20, or more, your participation will get us closer! There's no better time to go ALL IN.

Let's do this!

SJP, we've come together for a strong start to Giving Day, but the day isn't over yet! We still need to you to help reach our goal of one donor for every student -- 1,430 donors for 1,430 gifts.

Let's go ALL IN for the PREP and see how far we can go!

The Prep community has answered the call once again. Together we unlocked the $75,000 matching challenge.

We’ve already raised over $355,000 from more than 590 alumni, parents, grandparents, faculty and staff, trustees, and friends of SJP! Special shout-out to the Class of 2014, who are currently in the lead with the most alumni donors.

Gold eagles, young alumni, and current parents – don’t forget we still have matches on the line! Together, we can unlock another $50,000 if we can meet the challenges.

There’s still 11 hours left to give today—let’s see how much farther we can go!

We crushed our first $50,000 matching challenge and have raised over $170,000 and counting for SJP students! ✅

Can we meet an even BIGGER challenge now?

You heard it! An alumnus from the class of 1978 is ready to donate $75,000 to the Fund for St. John’s if we can raise another $75,000 today! That’s $150,000 in life-changing support for our students! Let’s do this St. John’s!

We have a $50,000 MATCHING GIFT CHALLENGE!

If our community can raise $50,000, Rosemary and Jim Phalen '68 and an alumnus from the Class of 1986 will donate an additional $50,000 to the Fund for St. John's today. That's a total of $100,000 to support all the amazing things happening at the Prep.
