1,000 Alumni Challenge – 406 alumni donors to-date, 594 to go by June!

Are YOU in yet? A record 1,037 alumni made Annual Fund gifts last fiscal year to secure the first installment of the $1 million challenge. Year 2 is upon us and to-date 406 alumni have made gifts, with 594 to go by June. Want to help VES alumni secure the 2^nd installment? Make a difference -- make YOUR gift today. YOUR gift, large or small, will make an impact on each student and every aspect of the school. YOU can move us one closer to winning the 1,000 Alumni Challenge in year 2.

Last year’s graduating class, 2009, led the Challenge with 100% of the class making a gift to the Alumni Challenge. The Class of ’81 is in the lead, but will the members of the class of 2009 take back their #1 position? Or will it be 1985 with a strong showing in honor of their 25^th Reunion year?

Class participation to-date:

1981          14 donors

1971     12 donors                                       

1973     11 donors

1985     11 donors

2009     11 donors
