A Remarkable Campaign, Powered by Community

The Our Way Forward campaign concluded on June 30, 2026, leaving much to celebrate in its wake. At a Donor Appreciation event held on September 24, Headmaster Michael Fellin announced the grand total raised in the campaign: $70,102,789, exceeding our $65-million goal by over $5 million. The campaign was the most ambitious fundraising effort in the School’s history.

Over ten years, the campaign helped make possible the 2021 purchase of the Rumball property for future campus development, the installation of a new turf and air-supported dome on Innes Field, and the revitalization of the Formal Garden.

The two-year construction project, completed in time for the first day of school on September 8, is the latest milestone in the campaign. It includes a new school entrance, student commons, kitchen, servery, and the soaring Alumni Community Hall, which served as the backdrop to the formal event.

The campaign also raised more than $15 million for Student Financial Assistance, helping grow Crescent’s endowment to $30 million and providing more than $1.4 million in annual support.

The campaign is a powerful expression of the culture of philanthropy that has shaped Crescent throughout its history. “Each generation has built upon the generosity and vision of those before it,” says Headmaster Fellin. “My sincere thanks to the extraordinary commitment of the Crescent community who have not only made our School a better place for our students today, but have left it stronger for those who follow.”
