Dasher Day of Giving 2022
We are #gladtobeplaid!
Thank you for making a difference in the lives of the young women of DSHA during Dasher Day of Giving 2022 on May 4!
The DSHA community’s heart is full of love and gratitude for the generous support of alumnae, parents, faculty, staff, grandparents, and other friends of DSHA. You made DSHA history with a record-setting 328 donors, and upon reaching the goal of 300 donors, unlocked a generous $10,000 matching gift from a group of alumnae ranging from the classes of 1994-2005.
Many thanks to all who made gifts large and small in supporting DSHA’s mission to develop young women in faith, heart, and intellect.
We are #gladtobeplaid because of our ALUMNAE.
Norah Jones, DSHA ’94, was a contributor to the $10,000 challenge gift unlocked after reaching a record-breaking 300 donors.
“The reality at an all-girls school where girls are leaders, the ones in charge, and stepping up at every level for me was a really important experience and period of development that would have not been the same had I attended a co-ed school. DSHA gives you the confidence and the knowledge that you can do anything, be a leader, and use your voice.”
We are #gladtobeplaid because of our ADVOCATES.
Erika Hutz, DSHA ’04, was one of our 15 advocates during Dasher Day of Giving. Dasher Day advocates made a gift to DSHA, spread awareness to their peers about the giving day, and encouraged others to join them in making a gift to DSHA. Hutz went a step further and matched some of the dollars gifted by her classmates.
“I give back to DSHA on Dasher Day of Giving because DSHA was an important part of my life. It is a fun time to reminisce and think about the good times I had at DSHA. I am still close friends with many of the women I met in high school, and I have DSHA to thank for my professional success. Girls can do whatever they want to do, and DSHA will help them do just that.”
We are #gladtobeplaid because of our STUDENTS.
Paula Palacio-Enachi, DSHA
’25, was one of the students who shared why she is #gladtobeplaid on the day.
“I love DSHA because of its community. Teachers and students work together to create a safe space for everyone in the classroom. We are all included in the classroom and are never afraid to ask questions and learn from each other.”
