A Celebration of Our Core Values
Field Day of Giving is rooted in the Five Pillars of Character: Respect, Responsibility, Kindness, Honesty, and Leadership. It’s a time when these values come to life—not just on the playing fields, but across the entire school community.
As students bring their energy and teamwork to Field Day activities, parents, alumni, faculty, and friends unite to give back. Together, we celebrate the values that define Far Hills—supporting our school through generosity, spirit, and shared purpose.
The Spirit of Community
Each year, the collective generosity of our community fuels something greater than the sum of its parts. It’s a day when school spirit and philanthropy come together, showing how deeply our families and friends believe in the mission and future of Far Hills.
Every voice matters. Every gift counts. And every act of support strengthens the foundation we build for our students today—and for generations to come.

“Field Day is more than just fun and games—it's a meaningful milestone in every student's journey at Far Hills. Days like this don’t just happen. They're made possible by caring and committed teachers, coaches, and staff who understand that the games and competitions within Field Day are great opportunities to teach our Five Pillars.
Field Day. Our Five Pillars. The incredible people who make it all happen. Each one is made possible by the generosity of our community through the Annual Fund and our Field Day of Giving.
