The Hockaday Fund
Introducing The Hockaday Fund:
A New Name for a Lasting Tradition
For generations, our Annual Fund has powered Hockaday’s excellence. Today, we’re proud to reintroduce this vital effort as The Hockaday Fund – a name that better reflects the mission of our School and the impact of your generosity.
The Hockaday Fund is Hockaday’s top fundraising priority each year. While the name has changed, the purpose remains the same: to provide essential, unrestricted support for Hockaday’s people, programs, and priorities. Your generous gifts each year ensure that our students, faculty, and community continue to thrive. Thank you for considering a git to the 2025-26 Hockaday Fund.
