Academy’s 4th annual Giving Day
has laragest impact to date
WOODSTOCK — In November The Woodstock Academy held its fourth annual Giving Day, a record-breaking day of donations to date, all of which directly contributed to InSpire 150, the campaign for the Academy Building.
The Academy set a goal of $40,000 and raised a total of $56,241 from 181 donors. Gifts were made from four different countries, compiled from parents, grandparents, friends, organizations, and alumni classes ranging from 1948 to 2024.
As a result of our continuing efforts, Giving Day has pushed the InSpire 150 campaign to more than $1,020,000 in gifts and commitments. Associate Head of School for Advancement, Jonathan Sturdevant, said”We are extremely grateful to the greater Woodstock Academy community that has generously helped us reach our fund-raising goal and provide our students with another facility they can thrive in for years to come.” Renovations are ongoing and the Academy Building is expected to reopen in the fall of 2023.
“This is a very important project for The Academy and its students, and greatly anticipated by our entire community. In fact, several of our current students made gifts during Giving Day,” said Head of School Chris Sandford. “Education has evolved so much since the Academy Building was built 150 years ago, and we are excited to have the renovations reflect the needs and expectations of a modern-day education.”
