2026 Nichols Days of Green

The Days of Green are back! From February 12–13, the Nichols community is coming together once again to celebrate the people, moments, and experiences that make Nichols so meaningful.

During the Days of Green, we invite you to make a gift in honor of someone who made a difference in your Nichols journey - a teacher, coach, advisor, staff member, or classmate. When you make your gift, you’ll be prompted to leave a comment and share your Nichols story. Whether it’s a lesson learned, a moment of encouragement, or a relationship that shaped who you are today, your words help bring the impact of Nichols to life.

To kick things off, a generous group of trustees has stepped forward to add an additional $100 to the first 250 gifts we receive, regardless of gift size, unlocking up to $25,000 in additional support for Nichols students and faculty.

There are plenty of fun incentives along the way. The first 100 donors beginning February 12 will receive a pair of limited-edition Nichols socks, and leadership-level donors ($1,250+) will receive a special-edition Nichols hat. All donors who make a $100 or more gift during the Days of Green will also be entered for a chance to win two tickets to a Buffalo Bills home game in Section 140 of the new stadium in the 2026 season.

We’re also inviting our current families to take part in a little friendly competition. The parent grade with the highest participation percentage and the highest total dollars raised will earn a food truck visit on campus this spring.

Be sure to explore the “Challenges” section of this site to learn more about matching opportunities, exclusive giveaways, and other ways to maximize your impact. Join the Nichols community, share your story, and honor those who shaped your experience with a gift to the Nichols Fund during the Days of Green!
