I learned to push myself and to try new things. I learned who I am at Greenwood and made special connections with so many people; Im so grateful for my time at Greenwood.Its why Allie continues to give back to Greenwood. She has served on Greenwoods Board of Directors since 2021. She has also been a member of the Greenwood Alumni Executive and on the Greenwood Foundation Board. She has also returned to speak to students many times and continues to give to Greenwood during the Annual Appeal.I stay involved because I feel passionate about the future generations of Greenwood students, she said. I believe so firmly in the core mission of the schoolto push students academically while also building character and moral values. I want to invest in that futurethrough both my time and my financial support.By giving to her Class Fund, Allie supports the Greenwood College School Foundation, and its endowment fund. A percentage of the endowment fund is disbursed each year to support the student experience. As the endowment grows, it generates returns and more funds go back to support student needs. Thats why I give to my Class Fundit means I am contributing for years to come.Allie says Greenwoods first 20 years clearly demonstrated the strength of its mission while also constantly adapting to meet the changing needs of students. The school is 20 years older, a little bit bigger and to me, 20 years better, she said. The beauty of Greenwood is that each students experience is unique and personal and I hope we can provide that same personalized experience for future Greenwood students.The evolution of the school has been so positive and I feel so lucky to have been a part of it.Greenwood Annual Report 2022/2023 13'
