A Pre-Kindergarten - Grade 12 co-educational independent day school in Westchester County, New York

2024 Annual Giving Challenge Concludes

The RCDS Annual Giving Challenge raised $4.26 million from 1,173 donors, unlocking $300,000 in challenge grants, both new records for both funds raised and participation!

Notably, four grades reached 100% parent/guardian participation (Pre-K, Kindergarten, Grade 1, and Grade 3). 

We are extremely grateful to the entire RCDS community. This challenge was an inspiring example of the power our connection as members of the extended Wildcat family! Current parents, alumni, parents of alumni, grandparents, faculty/staff, and friends joined together to participate, and their collective commitment enabled us to achieve truly outstanding results! Thank you!
