Class of 2025 Gift

Our April 3-4 Parent Giving Challenge was a success! 

Thanks to the engagement and generosity of Class of 2025 Parents, we achieved our Challenge goal of raising $25,000 in 25 hours to unlock a $25,000 matching gift. 

The Gift Challenge, with its match included, raised $63,664. THANK YOU!
Class of 2025, leave a transformational legacy at Westminster

The Westminster Class Gift is an opportunity for families in the same form to come together and, in honor of their childrens’ time at Westminster, collectively provide an impactful legacy gift to the school. 

The most recent Class Gifts were Keyes Patio (Class of 2024) and Light Up the Hill (Class of 2023). The Class of 2025 is poised to accomplish another transformative and community-centric project to enhance the student experience now and for generations to come. 

The Class of 2025 Gift will be an integral component of a multi-phase outdoor rec area project between the paddle courts and Jackson Hockey Rink. Specifically, a beautiful multi-use deck and adjacent outdoor lounge area where students can put on a performance, relax, do homework, play music, or even watch an outdoor movie together. 

Let’s help transform what is now an empty space into a community area for students to gather and forge friendships and memories beyond the classroom! Successfully funding the Class of 2025 Gift by June 30, 2024 will allow the work to be completed by the fall, which means that our students can enjoy the project during their Sixth Form Year while leaving an amazing legacy, one that they can return to as proud Westminster alumni. 

Our goal is for 100% of Class of 2025 families to participate in this incredible project! 

We hope to raise at least $250,000 for the Class of 2025 Gift.
The two classes before us raised 
$368,139 (Class of 2024) and $221,763 (Class of 2023).

Total Amount Raised (through 4/5/2024): $181,665
Parent Participation (through 4/5/2024): 55%
Student Participation (through 4/5/2024)76%

Thank you to our awesome Class of 2025 students for their inspiring engagement with and participation in the Class Gift!
“Part of the ethos of Westminster is a joyful sense of play, a way of being together and creating community and camaraderie. We have been creating spaces that do just that - the Brock, Keyes Patio, the paddle courts, the golf simulator. The multi-phase outdoor rec area is another inspirational space that would call students to community by introducing new opportunities for them to gather, share and play. The Class of 2025 Gift in particular will transform a relatively empty space into one where students will just want to be, where they can both express and enjoy themselves in a multitude of ways and where we can celebrate that sense of play that we intentionally want to sustain, especially in this day and age as students are drawn more and more into their phones and social media.”
