Track the Racers!

Presenting our 24 hour Amazing-Race style fundraising competition, during which Dean of Students Alex Funnell, Board of Trustees President Sarah Hurley, and Head of School Mike Simpson will see which one of them can race across Lancaster County, get to Tellus 360, and dump a cup of water on their heads first.

Why are we racing?

Our goal this Friday is to raise $52,000 – that’s the cost of educating 4 students at Stone.  Stone is one of only a handful of “need blind” schools around the country – the others have names like “Phillips Exeter” – and it really is the leadership of our Benefactors which has enabled us to remain one of those schools. Consider inspiring our community by offering a match during this year’s ExtraGive, sponsoring a racer or their backpack, or simply donating to Stone.
