The Reunion Gift Challenge
Thank you alumni, for making the first annual Reunion Gift Challenge a success!
The Reunion Gift Challenge program was launched in the 2017-2018 fiscal year as a way to encourage alumni celebrating a reunion to compete for the honor of winning the Challenge Cup for either highest participation or most dollars raised. All gifts made to the Franciscan Fund from July to May counted toward this challenge. The Class of 1973 won with highest participation at 30 percent and the Class of 1968 won with most dollars raised at $15,140 (as of May). Overall, reunion year classes, ending in 3’s and 8’s had a 268 percent increase in participation, and a 220 percent increase in dollars raised. The leaderboard stats below show the tally by class, which resulted in total giving of $45,964.63. The bar has been set for the reunion classes ending in
4’s & 9’s to beat these numbers by May 2019!
