The Miller A. Bugliari ’52 Athletics Center

$1 MILLION ATHLETICS CENTER CHALLENGE*

An anonymous donor has agreed to designate up to $1 million to match, dollar-for-dollar, all new gifts and pledges for The Miller A. Bugliari ’52 Athletics Center received since October 25, 2014 (check blueprint.pingry.org for deadline information and qualifying details). If this challenge is met, we will have $7 million of the $8 million (80% of total goal) in commitments needed to break ground on the new facility. *New gifts or pledges to the Campaign will be matched by one of these two challenges, but not both.

SQUASH CHALLENGE

“Squash started out as an idea, then a club, and then an official team at Pingry. Now, two Pingry students, Sam Scherl ’17 and Lindsay Stanley ’16, have been selected to compete in the upcoming British Open Junior Squash Championships as part of the U.S. Team! Squash at Pingry has come a long way. We know there are many of you who, like us, believe in the value of playing squash and the benefits it affords our children. That’s why we need courts here on campus. To this end, we are offering a special challenge.” - Terence and Polly O’Toole P ’05, ’08 The O’Toole Family will match dollar-for-dollar, up to $500,000, all new gifts and pledges toward the squash courts received by December 31, 2015 (check blueprint.pingry.org for details). The School has received over $300,000 in donations to date toward this challenge, and needs to raise another $170,000 in order to reach $500,000. Please consider making a gift to help bring squash courts to Pingry!

These challenges mean that any new gift and pledge to the Campaign will automatically be doubled! For more information, please visit blueprint.pingry.org. To learn more about naming opportunities, please refer to “Ways to Give.”
