Go Beyond
The Campaign For George Walton Academy
A Commitment To Success
"Our decision to support the Go Beyond Campaign really came down to one thing – our commitment as parents to provide Jet the very best opportunity to succeed in life. It’s the reason we came to George Walton Academy in the first place. We’ve been so impressed with the academic quality of a GWA education, and it keeps getting better year after year.
As Jet has gotten older and begun participating in a variety of activities beyond the classroom, we’ve been even more impressed with the quality of the programs offered. From baseball to joining the band and playing an instrument, his involvement with each these programs has greatly improved his GWA experience. Once we understood what the campaign would accomplish, and how each of the priorities will, not only directly benefit our son’s education, but enrich the academic experience of every George Walton Academy student, making our gift was easy. We were excited about what our gift could help accomplish.
We were especially excited to hear that our gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar, effectively doubling our support for the campaign. It’s because of this match that we were motivated to dig deep and stretch in our support for the campaign. Every dollar we were able to give meant a second dollar in matching gifts.
We’re thrilled about what this campaign will accomplish for George Walton and honored to be able to contribute to its success!

Make Your Gift Count....TWICE!
Your gift today can go even further in supporting Go Beyond: The Campaign for George Walton Academy. With the support of GWA's Board of Trustees and through the generosity of a small group of donors, we are excited to share that a $2 million challenge gift has been offered in support of the campaign. This means every gift to the campaign made on or before February 22 will be matched dollar-for-dollar! With a $2 million cap, we're already 85% of the way to seeing the challenge gift fully funded.
You can play a role in making sure that every dollar of the challenge gift is matched by making your gift or pledge to the campaign today. Whether $100, $1000, or $10,000, your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar. Remember, only those gifts or pledges made by February 22 will be matched.
