Step Up Fundraising Challenge – We need YOU!
A donation in ANY AMOUNT helps us add $150,000 to our new class endowed scholarship – money that will go directly to Smith students in the form of scholarships – for generations to come.
An anonymous alum will contribute $150,000 to our class scholarship fund – IF, and only IF –we increase the percentage of class members who donate to the Smith Fund and/or our Class Endowed Scholarship by June 30, 2023.
We need 200 classmates to donate to increase our participation enough to unlock this challenge gift.
Over 140 members of the Class of 1998 have already made a one-time or recurring contribution this year.
We are over 70% of the way to our goal…
That means we need about 60 more of you to pledge.
Let’s do this!
