Support Shipley
Annual Giving
Acorn & Oak Giving Society
The Acorn & Oak Society was named for the 28-year tradition pairing Shipley's youngest students - the Little Acorns - with members of the Senior class - the Mighty Oaks. The Society was established to honor our most loyal donors who make a gift to Shipley each year without fail and who exhibit steadfast loyalty to -- and support of -- the School.
Through the Acorn & Oak Society, Shipley recognizes that it is the continuous generosity of loyal members of the community that enables Shipley to grow its Acorns into Oaks, who in turn give back to Shipley to support future Acorns and Oaks. The Acorn & Oak Society also recognized the School's enduring impact on its community of students, alumni, parents, and colleagues. Loyalty and generosity are critical elements of a Shipley education.

Caleb Balderston ’06
I’m committing myself to developing young leaders through secondary education, and find it important to support the institutions that instilled this in me. -

I was Director of External Relations for 23 years at Shipley, and I was able to get to know so many parents, alumni, faculty and staff. In addition, my daughter was a student at Shipley for 14 years, graduating in 2008, the year that I “graduated” from the School. I was motivated to give back as a parent for her academic education and her love of sports, both of which were so important to her in her college career as well as her future. -

Consistency is the key to making an impact, so as a loyal donor I want to make sure that my impact is a part of the fabric of Shipley’s continuous growth. When you loyally donate every year, you can see the progressive impact you have on programming, educational access, and a host of other initiatives our donations support.
