President Nancy Kennedy reflects on the spirit that connects our community—and invites you to help Chewonki’s light shine into the year ahead.
Dear Chewonki Alumni and Friends,
With dusk arriving early and stars shining bright, I think of the many alumni and friends like you, each a spark that lights the Chewonki spirit.
That spirit connects us across years and seasons: one person splits while another stacks; one rinses while another racks; one group paddles while another cheers. It’s how our community takes shape again and again—through shared work, laughter, and care for one another and the natural world.
As the year draws to a close, I invite you to help keep that light shining bright with a gift to the Annual Fund. Your generosity sustains the places, people, and moments that make Chewonki extraordinary.
Thank you for being an essential part of our community and for helping carry forward the spirit of this remarkable place. Your support keeps Chewonki’s light burning strong into the year ahead.
Warm regards,
Nancy Kennedy
Chewonki President
Your gift rings twice this season.
This November and December, your generosity goes even further. A group of Chewonki board members has created a $300,000 matching challenge to inspire giving before December 31.
All gifts of $1,000 or more will be matched, dollar for dollar, up to $5,000 each. When we reach 500 gifts of any size, an additional $100,000 grant will be unlocked.
