This May, we are excited to honor an individual who has been integral in supporting Willow’s growth, Christy Johnson. A mother of four Willow alumni, entrepreneur, wellness coach, formidable athlete, volunteer, philanthropist, and connector of people, Christy has supported Willow in countless ways. Since the beginning, Christy has made the health and well-being of our students a focus. From leading the effort to build and fund the turf field, to serving as the Gala Chair multiple times, her influence is felt and seen throughout the school.

Her presence and involvement on campus to this day, despite having her youngest graduate in 2017, bespeaks her loyalty. Balancing her business obligations as Co-founder and Director of Health and Wellness for the Haven Collection, and a robust athletic training schedule, she continues to steward The Willow School and is a frequent visitor to campus. In addition to participating in and supporting existing Willow traditions, such as Harvest Soup, the Green Gala, and Golf Classic, Christy has also introduced new experiences for the Willow community that support our physical and mental well-being. Recently, she has organized several special events centered on movement and mood for students, parents, and the broader community. Needless to say, we are delighted for the long overdue celebration of her loyalty and generosity this May! Please save the dates of May 16th and 18th to join us!

Do it all! Have a wonderful time supporting Willow by purchasing a Weekend Sponsorship to enjoy the Green Gala on Saturday and the Golf Classic on Monday.
