OneWoodberry - 2017

During the last twenty-four hours, we made history at Woodberry Forest School, thanks to each of you. Meeting our initial goal late this morning, we found our way to an amazing 2,574 donors, with a grand total of $1,194,582 raised, all of which goes to benefit the people and programs of Woodberry Forest. 

A special thank you to all who contributed, to each of our four-hundred and eighteen volunteers, to our Amici Fund National Committee, and to Bill Caler ’63 and the seven other alumni challenge donors who made March 30^th, 2017 an unforgettable date.

Early next week, expect to hear a final tally of the class competitions and a more substantial recap and thank you.

Go Tigers!

Moments ago, we soared past 2,000 donors and over $1,000,000 raised for the people and programs of Woodberry Forest School through the Amici Fund. This is a milestone achievement for our school, and it’s happening because of you. We have until midnight tonight to continue our record-shattering streak. Let’s challenge each other to keep up the momentum – class competitions are going into the night. You can continue to help by encouraging your classmates who haven’t participated to join you in this historic day. From all of us, thank you so much. 

Tune in at 6:30 pm EDT as we report out live from the Terry Dining Hall with Headmaster Byron Hulsey, and the school community.

The response to OneWoodberry has been amazing – moments ago we cruised past our goal of 1,000 donors and have successfully secured the challenge gift of $150,000. THANK YOU to each and every one of you for your generosity in making this an unforgettable day at Woodberry Forest. With that said, we’re not done yet! Let’s keep going until midnight as we make this the largest day of Amici Fund support in the 129-year history of Woodberry Forest School! Let’s see where we land.

The class competitions are heating up. The class in each decade with the highest participation percentage will receive special recognition in all of our major communications outlets throughout next year.
