Giving Day 2021 a Resounding Success!

Pati Fernandez, Director of Development
December 16, 2021

You made it possible, thank you!

BECAUSE OF YOU, we not only met our goal, we surpassed it! More than 200 gifts and pledges were made today that will allow Belmont Day to continue to inspire and challenge our students. Thank you for choosing to move the BDS mission forward.

BECAUSE OF YOU a generous gift to the annual fund of $50,000 was unlocked. This was not an easy challenge to meet in just one day, but you did it! The Belmont Day values we live every day are so present through each gift received today. Our full community of current families, alumni, past parents, grandparents, faculty, trustees, and friends participated today and we feel the love! Thank you for continuing to prioritize the future of BDS by raising over $150,000!

We would also like to thank the generous community members who went above and beyond to challenge and inspire others to give. BECAUSE OF YOU, we were able to raise an additional $60,000 for the annual fund! We are so grateful for your support and dedication.
