Knox Proud Days 2026
April 28, 2026 — April 30, 2026
Knox Proud Days are about the power of participation.
When our community shows up together—through advocacy, volunteering, and giving—we create meaningful impact for today’s students and for generations to come.
Let's come together to celebrate our Knox Pride and make a collective impact that will be felt by each corner of our Knox Community.
Give Where It's Needed Most
Giving to the Knox Fund supports every aspect of the Knox experience! When you give to the Knox Fund, you’re not just supporting today’s students—you’re building a legacy that will shape generations of future leaders.
Support a Cause
“It is a privilege to be able to embrace my Knox education fully thanks to the generosity of financial support." — Jes Shannon ’26
Adopt a Knox Squirrel!
By making a gift of $18.37 or more, you’ll symbolically adopt one of Knox’s most iconic (and long-standing) residents—the Knox Squirrel. You will even receive your very own adoption certificate! Your support helps continue the Knox experience you know and love while also supporting today’s students, programs, and opportunities that make Knox, Knox.
