Why Bucs Together Days of Giving


"Iโ€™ve been asked a lot over the past few years what inspires me to give back to our school. The answer is simple. Iโ€™m a better friend, wife, mom, daughter, and employee because of the lessons I learned along the way from great teachers at Country Day.

Iโ€™ve always viewed Country Day as a magical place, but as the Alumni Division Chair of the Country Day Fund, Iโ€™ve gotten a closer look into all that goes into making the magic, and Iโ€™m honored to play a small part in ensuring the continued vitality of Country Day as it educates our next generation of leaders."

Calling all Lacrosse Families - A Message from Coach Touma

I hope all is well! The boys are making good progress on Dowd Field this year, and we would like to once again engage our family in the Bucs Together Days of Giving!


Last year, over six dozen lacrosse alums donated to the cause. This year, Ginny and I will donate one dollar for each lacrosse alum who makes a gift and also a dollar for each goal the varsity team scores against Ravenscroft School on April 1st and Legion Collegiate Academy on April 2nd.


Thank you to the 22 lacrosse alumni who have already accepted the Just for Brad Touma Challenge on the website! I hope everyone else will consider joining us.


I look forward to seeing many of you on Dowd Field this coming weekend.


In the meantime, and always, Go Bucs!


Coach Touma
