What is Giving Day?

Giving Day is a 24-hour fundraising initiative that calls on alumni, faculty, staff, parents, students, and friends to join together and combine their support to make a real difference in the lives of students today and in the future!

Why should I participate? 

Giving Day is an opportunity to show what can be achieved when the Park community—past, present, future—comes together behind a shared goal. Every contribution matters!

Who can participate?

Anyone can participate by making a gift of any amount by noon on May 1, 2025.

How much should I donate? 

Every gift - at any level - helps with our campaign. This effort is entirely about participation so a gift of $5 to $500,000 moves the needle one donor higher.
