Dear Blair family, 

We have had a very eventful year at Blair, celebrating our 175th academic year, a historic occasion marked with a host of festivities and culminating in a fantastic Alumni Weekend in June. At the closing of our 175th celebration, we emphasized the importance of moving the School forward, as we announced Blair’s All In, the largest comprehensive campaign in our history.

Blair Fund

The Blair Fund is one of the School's most important fundraising initiative—it provides day-to-day support for many aspects of Blair including academics; athletics; arts; campus life; Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB); and scholarships. The Blair Fund strengthens and ensures a robust Blair experience for today's students and faculty.
