ATHLETICS AND WELLNESS PROJECT

PROCEEDS FROM THIS EVENING WILL SUPPORT HOCKADAY’S ATHLETICS AND WELLNESS PROJECT

For 108 years, Athletics has played an integral role in the lives of Hockaday students. Ela Hockaday was bold and visionary when she named Athletics as one of Hockaday’s Four Cornerstones in 1913. Over these many decades, Hockaday’s Athletics and Wellness programs have taught the girls to enjoy the mental and physical benefits that stem from teamwork, self-sacrifice, and perseverance. Hockaday remains committed to providing numerous opportunities that enable its girls to develop and nurture the knowledge and skills necessary to live healthy, active lives.

Proceeds from the Hockaday Parents’ Association 2022 Benefit will help fund the addition of state-of-the-art outdoor facilities, including a new competition track with a turf field center, two new competition and practice fields oriented in a North-South configuration, and a new softball diamond, as well as a 1.5 mile cross country path that will circumnavigate the campus, spectator-friendly event access, and easy-access parking to enhance the full experience for students, parents, and families. The design also includes a new main plaza, which will serve as a much-needed communitygathering space with a new concessions pavilion, as well as pavilion with a meeting room and team facilities.

With the support of our entire community and your generosity tonight, this year’s Benefit – An Evening Pep Rally Benefiting Hockaday Athletics – will help to elevate Hockaday’s Athletics and Wellness fields and facilities and will provide extraordinary new opportunities for the girls to continue in their development as healthy, strong, emotionally grounded, confident young women.
