50th Reunion Fundraising
Your 50th reunion is an opportunity to create a lasting legacy that reflects how ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ has shaped and enriched your life. For many alumni, the 50th Reunion Gift is an individualized expression of their relationship with ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥. It also allows them to make a significant impact on the lives of ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ students and plays a central role in their philanthropic and estate planning.
About the 50th Reunion Gift Program
In recognition of the importance of the 50th Reunion, ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ has established a new policy for counting reunion gifts. Many alumni choose to mark this once-in-a-lifetime occasion with a meaningful gift that dovetails personal philanthropic goals with the college’s priorities. A variety of options offer flexibility and allow gifts to be tailored to each class member’s individual priorities and circumstances. Starting after your 45th year and continuing through your 50th, every contribution you make to ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥, plus multi-year pledges committed by June 30 of your 50th year, will count in the reunion gift total for your class.
ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ recognizes a broad range of current and future gifts, extended over several years, as part of an individual's 50th Reunion gift. Current gifts, whether designated for annual or capital purposes, and future gifts established through estate plan provisions and other vehicles all count toward the total.
