Ways to Give


The PDSPO, in conjunction with the development office, sponsors a number of special events, which serve as both fundraisers and friendraisers for the school. Special events have been part and parcel of PDS life for years. From the spring fairs of the 60's, 70's and 80's to the numerous theatre performances with PDS alumni parent James Earl Jones and friends in the 1990s and early 2000's to the most recent benefit auctions, the community looks forward to special events and participates fully in them.

The biggest annual fundraiser is our spring benefit, which for the past several years has included both live and silent auctions. This year's event, Poughkeepsie Day School's Spring Fling, will be held on Saturday, April 5, 2008 on campus. So...get ready to rock 'n roll. Read all about this exciting event and download donation, sponsorship, underwriting and advertising forms. Remember: be there or be square!
