The Long Green Line Shows Its Strength Through Annual Giving
Meghan Podimsky

The books have officially closed on another successful Delbarton Fund year, and once again, the Long Green Line demonstrated the extraordinary strength of the Delbarton brotherhood.

Thanks to the remarkable generosity of our alumni and the tireless efforts of our dedicated Alumni Class Representatives and 1,830 alumni donors, our alumni continue to set a standard well above the national average for independent schools, where alumni participation typically hovers around 20%.

Every gift, regardless of size, directly supports Delbarton's students, faculty, and programs while strengthening the Benedictine Catholic mission that has defined the School for generations.
