Leadership Giving Societies

Through their generous gifts, Avon’s leadership donors make it possible for our school to reach new levels of excellence. Leadership contributions significantly impact the entire Avon community, whether unrestricted or directed toward faculty, financial aid, academic programs, or the maintenance of school buildings. This special recognition is well deserved.
