Class of 2027 Gift

The Class of 2027 Gift: A community space for Martlets now and for generations to come

What is the Class of 2027 Gift?

Each year, Fifth Form families come together to dedicate time and pool their resources to make a meaningful and transformative gift to Westminster. Students and parents in the Class of 2027 have chosen Natural Bleachers in the Hovey Field Hillside as their Class Gift. It’s a shared expression of gratitude for our students’ experience and a chance to support a project that will enrich campus life for generations to come. Together, we are creating an enduring legacy at Westminster—one our students can enjoy now and return to as proud alumni.
 
Why are we raising funds during the students' Fifth Form Year?

By raising funds for the Class of 2027 Gift before Commencement (May 23, 2026), construction can take place over the summer so the gift is ready when our students return in the fall as Sixth Formers, allowing them to see the project come to life, understand its impact, and help shape how the community uses the space.


Our goal is to raise at least $175,000, and for 100% of Class of 2027 families and students to participate in this exciting project!

“Participating in the Class of 2027 Gift is important to our family because it reflects our shared gratitude, unity, and commitment to leaving a lasting impact. Coming together to contribute—no matter the amount—honors the experiences, support, and opportunities that have shaped our daughter’s Westy experience.”
Margot and Ben Fooshee P’27, Class of 2027 Gift Committee Co-Chairs

“We support the Class of 2027 Gift out of deep gratitude for the years our son has spent growing, learning, and thriving at Westminster. The natural bleachers project is a meaningful way to honor that experience while creating an enduring legacy that will inspire and be enjoyed by generations of students to come.”
