For the past five years, we have been fundraising for The Campaign for Ridley. Together, we raised over $50 million to grow our endowment and build important new facilities. This remarkable endeavour has been made possible through the unwavering generosity of devoted contributors driven by a desire to enact meaningful change.
To mark this transformational moment in the history of our school and show our gratitude for the generosity of our community, we invite you to join us for The Legacy Gala on September 28th, 2024, in the newly renovated Fieldhouse. The grand opening of our new facilities will occur on Saturday, and tours of the new facilities will run from 1:00-4:00p.m.
This event will be one of the largest community-building events in the history of our school. Guests will have the opportunity to tour our new facilities, connect, reconnect and strengthen shared bonds, and celebrate the tremendous legacy of Ridley College.
Our Legacy Gala is now SOLD OUT. We look forward to seeing everyone at the event.
