May Day of Giving 2022





Unite and Unite!

Shady Hill celebrates May Day on May 11, 2022. In conjunction with the beloved campus traditions, we asked the community near and far to Unite and Unite in support of our students and faculty with a financial gift to the Shady Hill Fund. Won't you join us?

  • The first challenge: Be one of the first 150 gifts needed to unlock a $50,000 gift before the May Day assemblies are over! If 50 parents make a gift before noon, there's $10,000 more to unlock; If 50 alumni make a gift before noon, that's $10,000 more still! Won't you join in?!
  • The second challenge: Surpass 250 gifts by midnight there is another $25,000 to unlock.
