For nearly 200 years, Perkins has pushed boundaries to ensure every child with a disability receives an equitable, inclusive education, starting on our historic campus and expanding to communities around the world.
At the heart of our campus stands our famous tower, home to a multigenerational family of red-tailed hawks known affectionately as the Towerhawks, which were proudly adopted by our student-athletes as the official mascot for our adaptive sports teams.
This Giving Tuesday, every gift gives you the exclusive chance to vote on a name for one of our Towerhawks from a list created by our student-athletes. Your support drives educational innovation forward while celebrating a cherished Perkins tradition.
