GIVING
Presidents' Cup Standings - As of March 7, 2019
There are no resources or collections to display
Champagne Cup Standings - As of March 7, 2019
The Holton Fund is the primary fundraising effort at Holton-Arms. The School depends on ongoing annual contributions to sustain daily activities, to support excellent faculty, and to look toward the future. From lab equipment to computers, financial aid to sports activities, art classes to school plays, the Holton Fund supports the people and programs that make up the Holton experience for every girl, every day. Since tuition alone does not cover the cost of a Holton education, gifts to the Holton Fund provide funding for the School’s most immediate needs:
- Compensation and benefits for our talented and dedicated teachers;
- Equipment and supplies for academic, arts, and athletics programs;
- Professional development for faculty and staff;
- Innovations to our rich curricular offerings;
- Experiential learning opportunities locally, nationally, and globally;
- Upgrades to instructional technology;
- Maintenance of our campus and facilities.
The Champagne Cup is awarded to the Reunion Class achieving the highest participation in the 18-19 Holton Fund by Reunion Weekend. The Presidents’ Cup celebrates the class achieving the highest level of philanthropic leadership to Holton during a Reunion Year by Reunion Weekend.
Both awards provide friendly competition among Reunion Classes with the reward of exclusive champagne service throughout the weekend.
Nothing says celebration like a bottle of bubbly!
