Record Results for Amici Letter-Writing Effort
Students gathered during lunch Tuesday to write more than 200 thank you letters to supporters of the Amici Fund, Woodberry’s annual giving initiative, and to members of the Walker Society, Woodberry’s planned giving initiative.
Last year the Amici Fund raised nearly $3.6 million in support of Woodberry, with 62 percent of alumni and 89 percent of current parents making a gift. Amici supports tuition assistance, faculty and staff salaries and benefits, athletic programs, and the arts; it provides more than 10 percent of Woodberry’s operating budget each year.
"Gratitude reciprocates,” said Douglas Gabbert ’08, director of the Amici Fund. “The boys and faculty were enthusiastic in expressing their appreciation to our alumni for their generosity to the Amici Fund, and to those that have joined the Walker Society recently.”
This is the fourth year that students have written thank you letters as Woodberry thanks a record-setting number of alumni supporters for their commitment to the school.
