WHY I
GIVE
Brent Casey — College Counselor and 11th Grade Dean “I give to the Holland Hall Annual Fund because I can’t imagine not giving. For me, it’s an expression of giving back to the very thing that enriches my own life in so many ways. At the core, we’re here for the students. We’re here because of the students. If you agree, please consider giving -- even a small donation. It’s our way of letting the students know, ’Hey, I believe in you’.”
