University School of Nashville's collective giving effort raised over $300,000 from nearly 800 donors providing a big boost to the Annual Fund. And, when 400 gifts were made, donors unlocked a special celebratory day for students schoolwide — Friday, March 24 will be Dress Like A Superhero Day.

When a streak of Tigers come together, anything is possible. We proved that on Wednesday, March 1, when nearly 800 members of the USN community contributed over $300,000 for the Annual Fund during the Tiger Give Back Challenge. Thank you to the dozens of parent, alumni, faculty, and grandparent volunteers who made our collective day a huge success. And to the hundreds of donors, we are grateful for the investment you made in the people and programs at University School of Nashville.
