Community Charity
The 2024-2025 charity chosen by the Suffield Academy community was The Ronald McDonald House Charities, nominated by Alivia McKay ’25. “The Ronald McDonald House organization has played a major role in my own life and I was thrilled to nominate it for this year’s charity. My family and I have spent months in the RMH of Madison, Wisconsin where I recovered from serious surgeries due to a rare auto immune disease. The opportunity to stay in such a warm and inviting place with a sense of community during such a difficult time made our experience in Madison that much better. I am really looking forward to Suffield Academy partnering with the house in Springfield.”
Suffield students are passionate about making a positive impact on the world. Our students annually select a charity to support with a series of campus-wide fundraisers. Students nominate several organizations and a school-wide vote determines the recipient. The fundraising activities provide annual highlights for the community and provide Suffield students a platform to give back as leaders. Suffield students have raised over $500,000 in the past decade in support of various charities.
