We had a successful PA Giving Day last week! Special thanks to all those who participated in supporting the Peabody and contributing to our match challenge, generously shared by a pair of Peabody donors.
PA Giving Day represents a critical milestone in our fundraising efforts for the Peabody. Last year we raised 77% of the Peabody’s total annual support from 65 donors in just one day, achieving our match goal in the process and engaging new PA alumni and friends of the Peabody during PA’s collective day of giving.
This year our goal was to exceed last year’s success by leveraging this collective day of giving to achieve even more in honor of our year of critical Peabody milestones and to celebrate the Peabody’s 125th anniversary.
The final dollar figures and donor counts for the Peabody are not in yet, but the overall day raised over $1.6 million from more than 1,850 donors towards Andover academics, financial aid, the arts, athletics, and outreach programs.
