About
Poly Giving Day is a celebration of the strength, unity, and generosity that defines our Poly community. On April 16, we come together to honor the impact of alumni, parents, grandparents, faculty, and staff, and students—each of whom plays a vital role in making Poly a truly special place. This day serves as an opportunity to reflect on our community, celebrate the incredible accomplishments we’ve achieved, and look ahead to the future, with your support helping us continue our journey.
Gifts to Poly can help fund scholarships, academic programs, and essential resources, ensuring that all students have the opportunities they need to thrive. Your involvement on this day strengthens the foundation for long-term stability and growth.
We invite you to participate in the spirit of generosity and community. Together, we continue to build a legacy of support and excellence that will shape Poly for years to come.
The power of community starts with you.
