Leadership Circle Reception Celebrates Generous Annual Fund Supporters

St. Margaret’s welcomed members of the Leadership Circle to the 2025 Leadership Circle Reception last week, joining Head of School Dr. Jeneen Graham, Board of Trustees President Dana Sullivan and school administrators for an evening of gratitude and celebration. 

 

Held at the Head of School Residence, the reception honored those who have made leadership-level gifts to the Annual Fund, highlighting the profound impact philanthropy has on the life of the school. Guests enjoyed a wonderful evening of connection and conversation, celebrating the strength of a community united in support of St. Margaret’s students. While every gift to the Annual Fund is deeply valued and helps make the student experience possible, Leadership Circle members are recognized with special opportunities for engagement and celebration. 

 

“St. Margaret’s culture of philanthropy is instrumental in the success of our school, and this reception is a small token of our appreciation for the generosity of our Leadership Circle members,” said Stephanie Hoback, St. Margaret’s director of Annual Giving. 

 

Crista Martin, Annual Fund campaign chair, added: “The Annual Fund is a collective effort. When we come together as parents and a community, we create extraordinary opportunities for our children. It’s inspiring to see how leadership-level giving fuels the spirit of St. Margaret’s and directly impacts every student’s experience.” 

 

While the Leadership Circle Reception is traditionally held each fall to recognize past giving, this year St. Margaret’s will host a second reception in the late spring to recognize those who make leadership-level gifts during the current fiscal year. For more information, please contact Mrs. Hoback in the Advancement Office (949) 661-0108 ext. 1353.
