THANK YOU!
Hamilton Community!

My name is Mackenzie Welch from the AHS Alumni Board with an update on Giving Tuesday and alumni giving.

This year, we challenged our HamFam -- particularly alum -- to join us for Giving Tuesday’s global day of generosity!

And, we did it — we raised $23,584.32 from 59 total donors -- with over 69% being alum -- and an incredibly generous 10K match from an anonymous donor!
 
We are so proud how our alum mobilized their fellow peers, reached across cohorts, and joined AHS's “Growing Where We’re Rooted” campaign to support future generations of Hammies.

A huge thank you to you and to all of the beautiful souls who wish to remain anonymous for growing in your support alongside AHS!
