1/18/08 - Since the announcement
of Ever Always: The Campaign for Blair in September, Blair has received a record-breaking number of new gifts and pledges, making it the strongest period of fundraising in school history. Our campaign total grew from $31 to $36 million during that period, and we remain on track to meet our $50 million goal. In the month of December, three separate donors made gifts to Blair of more than $1 million each. While all three individuals wish to remain anonymous, these remarkable gifts reflect a deep commitment to Blair and underscore the broad and generous support of an ever growing number of the School’s alumni, parents and friends. It was quite a month!
Equally encouraging, more than half of Blair’s donors have increased their giving this year from the previous year. This collective effort is an extraordinary response by the Blair community to the challenge of this Campaign, an initiative that will both preserve our present success and strengthen this great School for the future.
The photos above show the site work that has been completed in preparation for construction of the new Activity and Athletic Center. We anticipate that the steel infrastructure will rise from this foundation during the month of February.
