8. The Pitch
• The $11,000 Gap
• People & Programs — Annual Giving accounts
for 9% of STA’s Operating Budget
• Powerfully Potent — $1 of Annual Giving
equals $20 of endowment
• Participation — every family’s participation is
an important acknowledgment of our belief in the
power of a St. Albans education
 We want your name on our class list!
