The Webb School Board of Trustees and Head of School Ray Broadhead – in conjunction with the Alumni and Development Office – are pleased to announce the public phase of Webb 150: A Campaign for Webb School. With a goal of $4 million, the campaign will celebrate the school’s 150th anniversary. It has been designed with three primary goals: to increase the school’s $33 million endowment, to benefit current students and faculty through the Webb Fund and additionally, increase membership in the Burkhead Legacy Society, whose members have indicated that Webb School is included as a beneficiary of their estates.

More than $2.1 million  in cash, pledges, and bequests has already been confirmed towards the $4 million goal. Counting gifts and pledges for Webb 150 commenced on January 1, 2018. The campaign will run for three calendar years, with a proposed end date of December 31, 2020.
