The pandemic might have challenged St. Mark’s to find new and innovative ways to educate students, but it did not stop the remarkable momentum of giving by alumni, parents, grandparents, faculty, staff, and friends. Thanks to the generosity of so many, the Annual Fund received a record-setting $3,080,021, with St. Mark's parents contributing $1,039,990 of that total. In the spring of 2021, more than twenty-five members joined the Thayer Society through the Thayer Society Challenge as both existing and new members made this a successful effort by raising $532,543. Giving Day and Philanthropy Days were also successful as the St. Mark’s community contributed $195,910 and respectively $352,263. This remarkable success could not have been achieved without the enduring leadership and efforts of many alumni and parent volunteers, including Annual Fund Chair Bruce Morgan ’70, Parent Annual Fund Chair Michael Pellini P’20, ’23, and Parents’ Association Co-Chairs Michelle and Thomas Davis P’21.
