Parent Annual Fund Campaign

Your Donation Makes a Direct Impact


Our parent community has a strong tradition of supporting the Annual Fund. Last year, parent participation reached 97 percent!

Please help us reach our 2024–2025 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, 2025.

A Note from the Chairs

We look forward to working with you this year to raise critical funds for Hockaday’s Annual Fund! Together, we can Help Our Daisies Grow! All parents will receive a letter in the mail this fall with more details on how you can support this year’s Annual Fund. The Annual Fund remains Hockaday’s #1 fundraising priority, and parent participation is critical. The generosity of our community bolsters the School's operating budget and directly supports each girl’s education. 
 
We appreciate your consideration, and please don’t hesitate to reach out to us with any questions!
