Donor Spotlight

Mary Anne Robb Freer ’50 dedicated an impressive 41 years of her life to supporting Holton-Arms through her consistent contributions to the Holton Fund year after year. Over those 41 years, more than 7,000 graduates benefited from her philanthropy through recruiting and retaining world-class faculty, providing global education trips, caring for and improving top-notch facilities for the Arts and Athletics, and so much more! As a member of the Glee Club, Camera Club, Dramatic Club, and White Basketball Team during her time at Holton, Mary Ann valued the opportunities the School provided – and ensured the same for future generations of students.

Her unwavering commitment continued until she passed away in January 2023 with her $1,462,500.00 legacy gift – Holton-Arms' largest single gift of all time. This bequest was a testament to Mary Anne’s love for Holton and her desire to ensure its perpetual growth. Her generosity serves as a reminder to all of the transformative power of dedication and philanthropy.

Inspired by Mary Anne’s record-breaking gift? We invite you to join the Lamp of Learning which honors and recognizes those individuals who have included Holton-Arms in their estate plans or have made a planned gift to the School. Lamp of Learning members are forward-thinking donors who have made known their core values and trust in the mission to the future generations of the School.

Named for the lamp from the School's Crest, a symbol that demonstrates how estate gifts help illuminate the path for future generations of Holton students, the Lamp of Learning is one of the most powerful ways a donor can burnish their legacy for years to come. If you have made a provision for Holton in your estate or would like to, please reach out to Nina Gilman in the Advancement Center.
