CREATIVE CHALLENGES

Yield Record-Setting Giving Day

On May 25, Titans from around the world rallied for Trinity’s third annual Titans for Titans Giving Day to help support current and future families in the Titan community. 124 total gifts were made, honoring the number of seniors in the 2022 graduating class. Alumni were able to watch the progress of the campaign in real time through our Giving Day webpage.

A special part of the campaign featured challenges set forth by classes and individuals to complete. One major challenge was made by Seth Israel ’93 who inspired his class to donate over $10,000. “We made it a team effort,” Israel said. “It was not up to one single person, but rather a core group who started the effort and encouraged others to participate towards the overall goal. Having recently moved back to Richmond and visited campus, we reflected back on the great memories we had at Trinity and felt compelled to give back and invigorate our classmates to re-engage with Trinity. We thought a challenge was the best way to do that.”

Creative content such as graphics and videos were sprinkled on social platforms throughout the day ensuring all from the Trinity community were engaged in the campaign. Alumni, parents, faculty/staff and friends of the school all made personal gifts to the fund ensuring current and future students will be supported. “A reason I gave is because of how impressed I am with how the school has grown and evolved in recent years,” Mark Witthoefft ’93 said. “I’m excited by the vision for the school and want to support it.”

Because of YOU, we pulled off one of the most successful Giving Day campaigns to date! Thank you for your contribution to Trinity and your continued support. Let’s do it all again next May!

Titan Society Reception Spring 2022

For the first time since 2019, Trinity was able to host and celebrate Titan Society donors and reflect on the completion of successful school year on May 12. Head of School Rob Short welcomed guests to the patio and lawn at the school’s Wright House, thanking them for the generosity and commitment to furthering Trinity’s mission.

Softball Field Dedication

In 2019, Carol Estes-Williams, parent of alums Alise Witt ’09 and Jonathan Witt ’09, pledged a generous gift for improvements to the Trinity softball facility. On April 19, newly refurbished dugouts were dedicated in a pregame ceremony. The first base dugout was named in honor of Alise Estes Witt ’09 while the third base dugout was named for Carolyn Estes-Williams. Carol’s generosity and loyalty guarantees an opportunity for the program to reach for new heights and new levels of success for years to come!
