Days of Giving Caps Off an Incredible Year of Alumni Engagement
Our first-ever Alumni Day of Giving once again demonstrated what Patriots can achieve when they come together. Led by dedicated Alumni Ambassadors, graduates rallied to ensure students facing financial hardship had hot breakfasts, essential supplies, sports equipment, and opportunities to fully engage in school life at SHS.
The outpouring of alumni support was so remarkable that our “Day” of Giving quickly became “Days” of Giving! With $10,070 in donations and a $10,000 matching gift from a generous fellow Patriot, $20,070 was raised over the three-day effort. Thanks to every Stevenson graduate who donated, shared with classmates, or cheered us on!
While the official campaign has ended, the work of the Stevenson Foundation is ongoing. You can still make a gift to support students experiencing financial need, today or any day. Every contribution helps shape a student’s Stevenson experience and can create a lasting impact that changes the trajectory of their life.
Thank you for an incredible year of alumni giving and engagement! Wishing you a joyful holiday season.
Warmly,

Gathers Market Events Provide Food Support to Stevenson Families Facing Financial Hardship
For hundreds of Stevenson students, food insecurity is an unseen reality. While many of us prepare for holiday meals with loved ones, there are families in our community who worry if they have enough to make it through the week.
The Foundation's One Family program helps ease that burden by providing access to groceries during breaks, when school meals aren't available. In November and December alone, financially-fragile families will pick up more than 3,500 bags of groceries -- helping household budgets stretch just a bit further.
You can provide essentials like fresh produce, healthy proteins, dairy products, and pantry staples for hundreds of SHS families who need it most. As we enter this season of giving, would you make a tax-deductible donation of $50, $125, or more to supply nourishing foods to friends and neighbors in need?
Your donation does more than fill stomachs this holiday season -- it creates opportunities for families to come together. Please join this effort and make your gift today. |
