🏆 THE OAA GIVING CHALLENGE IS HEATING UP!

August 28, 2026 0 comments David Crawford

Our Annual Giving Campaign has now reached $24,903 from 56 supporters, bringing us to approximately 25% of our $100,000 goal.

And the class competition is getting interesting! The Class of 1986 remains in first place with $10,100.56, followed by the Class of 1991 with $7,050 and the Class of 1983 with $2,947.

But the leaderboard can change quickly. Whether your class is near the top or hasn’t made its move yet, there is still an opportunity to rally your classmates.

Every gift makes an impact. Every class can participate. Every generation can help strengthen OAA for the next generation.

If you’re making a last-minute decision to come home—and we hope you do—we’ve identified several hotels convenient to Oakwood Adventist Academy, including options in the Village of Providence and other nearby locations.

The important thing is: come home. Even if you haven’t made plans yet, there’s still time to make Alumni Weekend part of your Labor Day weekend.

WHO REMEMBERS OLYMPIC DAY?

Here is a little throwback memory of David Crawford and Troy Houser (7th or 8th grade) walking across the track on olympic day. AI kind of made Troy look a little gimpy.

🏆 The Giving Challenge Is Still On — Which Class Will Take the Lead?

August 24, 2026 0 comments David Crawford

The Oakwood Adventist Academy Annual Giving Campaign continues to grow! Thanks to the generosity of our alumni and supporters, we have now raised $18,753 toward our $100,000 goal, with 47 supporters joining the campaign.

And the class competition is getting interesting!

🥇 Class of 1986 — $7,600.56
🥈 Class of 1991 — $5,250
🥉 Class of 1983 — $2,347

The Classes of 1987, 1976, 1967, 1974, 1984, 1985 and 1960 have also stepped up and are represented on the leaderboard.

But there are a lot of OAA classes we haven’t heard from yet!

As we prepare to come together for our 130th Anniversary Alumni Weekend, September 4–6, we’re challenging every graduating class to get on the board and help us move closer to our $100,000 annual giving goal.

Every gift matters. Whether your class gives $25, $100, $500 or several thousand dollars, together we’re investing in the students who are carrying the Oakwood Academy legacy forward.

Can your class catch the Class of 1986? 👀

Let’s make the weeks surrounding Alumni Weekend a celebration not only of where we’ve been, but of what we’re willing to do for the generations coming behind us.

Give. Challenge your classmates. Move your class up the leaderboard.

Let’s continue the legacy — together. 💚💛
