The Winneg family are no strangers to Derryfield. Fran and Dick Winneg were among the founders who came together and invested in starting the School. Each year when Dick returned for Founders’ Day, he quipped that his original donation to Derryfield was the best gift he ever made. He was in awe of how the School has grown over the years. Their three children attended Derryfield, and their son Neal joined the Board of Trustees in 2016. Neal gathered the family together to make a family gift to the campaign; his parents and siblings all investing in paying it forward once again. According to Neal, his parents didn’t think twice about taking the risk to create a better educational opportunity for their children, and for that he remains grateful. He envisions a future where more alumni are engaged with their school, where growth continues, and where we maintain the tradition of caring for the well-being of all our students.
