Giving Day 2026

Get ready for Blake’s Giving Week DAY! What?! A Giving Day? That’s right. We’re packing a week’s worth of excitement into a single day.

On Thursday, April 9, our community will unite around a goal of 425 donors in 24 hours—an ambitious target well within our reach. 

Giving Day is all about participation. Parents, guardians, alumni, grandparents, employees and friends—every gift supports one-of-a-kind Blake experiences while creating a strong, connected school community. You won’t want to miss Blake’s Giving Day. Highlights include:

  • A generous combined gift of $50,000 to be unlocked if the 425-donor goal is achieved by 11:59pm on April 9. A big thank you to the following community members who came together to provide this gift:
    • Brian O’Connell and Lynne Rasmussen, Parent ’23 ’26
