​Day 2: #Mustang Pride: 5 Days of Community Giving

Thank you to everyone who showed their #Mustang Pride!

In just one day, 32 parents, grandparents, alumni parents, and faculty and staff supported McLean and our first Mustang Pride: 5 Days of Community Giving.​


New Challenge: Help Us Unlock $20,000! 

Two generous families will match every gift dollar for dollar this week up to $20,000. Help us reach our goal!

Welcome to #Mustang Pride: 5 Days of Community Giving

We invite all members of our community to show their support by participating in our week-long giving event.

This year, we showed that when we pull together, get creative, and stay true to McLean School's Core Values, we can do the unimaginable. The students, faculty, and staff were flexible and worked incredibly hard as we all adjusted to the worst pandemic in a century. We found ways to bring students safely together on campus, while still supporting those in hybrid instruction at home. 

Thanks to our community’s generosity, the core of what McLean stands for and does best remains unchanged--helping students build confidence, discover how they learn best, and prepare to find success in college and life. 


The Goal

Our goal this week is to inspire 200 donors to make a gift. This will go a long way towards helping us reach 80% current parent participation and raise $975K before June 30.

All gifts will be counted as part of the TRUE BLUE Fund.

McLean School is a 501(c)3 organization, EIN# 52-1117092. All donations are tax deductible as allowable by law.
