This week is Darlington’s Senior Week and Tuesday, May 5 is GivingTuesdayNOW - a day to come together and create a wave of generosity, citizen engagement, action from business and philanthropy, and support for communities and nonprofits around the world. We want that movement to extend to Darlington and our incredible seniors.
To make your gift online in honor of our seniors please click here. Our entire community, especially the Class of 2020, say thank you.
This spring we asked our seniors to tell us more about themselves and we have been featuring these answers in our “Future Alumni” blog series. We also asked these students to share how they would thank our donors to The Darlington Fund. This is what they said.
