Day of Giving

Annual Fund

On February 10, 2022, Harvey celebrated the second annual Founders Day/Day of Giving. We were proud to honor the traditions established during the school’s founding years with the youngest student cutting a ceremonial sheet cake to recognize the school’s birthday. In addition, the Harvey band performed during the celebration while the students participated in contests and games. On campus, we all came together as a community to make this special day memorable!

Our goals were mighty: $350,000 and 415 donors. Our community’s support was overwhelming, ensuring that the Annual Fund continues to support the vision and the programs, and people that make Harvey extraordinary. Our thanks to all those who made the second year of this new tradition a success! A special thank-you goes out to our development interns, Annual Fund volunteers, and class agents who rallied support all day long!
