Parent Hockaday Fund Campaign

Your Donation Makes a Direct Impact


Our parent community has a strong tradition of supporting The Hockaday Fund. Thank you to all of our donors and volunteers who help make this effort a huge success!

Please help us reach our 2025–2026 goal of 100% parent participation by making your pledge or gift. Pledges may be paid at the time they are made or anytime during the year prior to June 30, 2026.

A Note from the Chairs

We’re excited to partner with you this year to raise essential support for The Hockaday Fund, our School’s top fundraising priority.

This fall, all parents will receive a letter with more information about how to participate in this important effort. Strong parent participation makes a meaningful difference every year. Your generosity strengthens the School’s operating budget and directly supports every Hockaday girl’s education and experience.

Thank you for your support and please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. We’re grateful to be in this work together!
