WAKEFIELD GIVING DAY

OWLS UNITE! Wakefield Giving Day is more than a single day—it’s a celebration of generosity, community, and school spirit that builds from now through Thursday, November 13.

Our goal:
raise $150,000 for the Wakefield Fund, which fuels the standout programs, opportunities, and resources that make a Wakefield education exceptional. With $60,000 in matching challenges, every donation can double!

Every gift made today through November 13 brings us closer to our goal, so give early, spread the word, and help Wakefield soar to victory!
