For more  informa on,  visit: www.havergal.on.ca/discover/our‐campus/sustainability Commitment  to Philanthropy  Havergal’s  long  tradi on of philanthropic  support has  spanned genera ons. Support began with  the  founding of Havergal  in 1894. The establishment of  its present  campus  in 1926,  the addi on  of new wings built  in 1959, 1977 and 1999 as well as Havergal’s Athle c Centre  (built  in 2006) and  Dr. Catherine  Steele Archives were all made possible  through  contribu ons  from members of  the  Havergal  community.   Why  Is Dona ng  Important?   Each  year, we  invite members of  the Havergal  community,  including parents, Old Girls, Grade 12  students,  staff and  friends  to donate  to our Annual Fund. Everyone who  is a member of  the  Havergal  community  is  invited  to  support  to  the best of  their ability. Annual giving  is an  important  source of financial  support  for  curriculum enrichment, financial assistance,  special projects and  many other  ini a ves  that make our academic, athle cs, arts and music programs unique.  Each genera on of Havergal  students have benefited  from  the generosity of past  supporters. By  making  your annual gi ,  you are advancing our  culture of giving and ensuring  that our girls have  an enriching experience while at Havergal. Par cipa on  is  in many ways as  important as  the  amount given ; a  sense of  community  is  strengthened when everyone gives and  feels  invested  in  the  school’s mission.
