Walton Weekend Leaders

When word spead throughout the Hawken community that the school would honor Coach Cliff Walton by naming the new sports facility at Humphrey Field in his honor, his former players and friends from across the eras came together as one giant team and volunteered their time and energy to the project. Over the past several months they have reached out to their teammates, encouraging support of the Walton Stadium fundraising campaign and Walton Weekend activities. Hawken School acknolwedges these individuals for their contributions of time, talent and treasure. Their respect for Coach Walton is a fitting cornerstone to the the new stadium that will bear his name.
