Class challenges offer opportunities to increase your gift to Putney!
Reunion Year: Class of 1942
In looking forward to celebrating their 70th Reunion this June, this august class, led by Class Agent Ken Landis, has set themselves a very ambitious challenge of raising $70,000 for the Annual Fund! Our congratulations and our support goes out to the 14 remaining members of this class as they stretch themselves to reach this exemplary goal. Donate today online, or contact Carlotta Cuerdon at 802-387-6248 to give by phone.
Reunion Year: Class of 1982
In honor of their 30th reunion, a classmate has offered to match, dollar for dollar, gifts to the Annual Fund. On top of that, for all classmates who gave last year and give again this year, an additional $50 will be given to Putney. This $50 increases to $100 for the truly loyal--those whose gift this year will be at least their fifth in a row. Save the date for reunion, and support Putney today.
Class of 1986
Congratulations to the class of 1986 for more than doubling their participation rate in the Annual Fund! Aided by the incentive provided by a class giving challenge, the ’86s went from 10% participation for the ’09-’10 year to 24% in the ’10-’11 year! This success has prompted the challenge to be offered again for the 2011-12 year: For every ’86 who meets or exceeds their gift from last year an additional $75 will be contributed to Putney’s Annual Fund. For any ’86 who makes a gift who didn’t make one last year, an additional $50 will be contributed to Putney’s Annual Fund. Make your gift now to Putney!
Class of 1995
In an effort to boost participation, classmate Jesse Kurlancheek is generously offering to donate an additional $50 for every gift made to the Annual Fund by a member of the class of 1995. Last year 9 classmates gave, this year the goal is to double that and reach 18. There are no limits to the size of the gift, so send in your contribution today!
Reunion Year: Class of 1997
The ’97s have a long history of recording participation percentages in the 20th percentile (impressive for such a young class) but now they are looking to make a big jump up in their participation record during their 15th reunion year. To help encourage gifts to the Annual Fund, class agents Joshu Harris and Vasya Dostoinov are offering a special commemorative 15th Reunion Song book to all those who make a gift. In addition, those who make a gift that is at least $100 and is an increase of at least 25% above their previous highest gift, will receive a handmade key chain featuring the Putney Elm. Click here to make your gift, or email Carlotta in the Annual Fund office to determine your previous highest gift.
Class of 2001
Congratulations to this young class which increased their participation in the Annual Fund last year from 12% to an astonishing 29%! In order to encourage continued participation, Class Agent Jamie Duong is offering to donate $10 to Putney for each classmate who makes their first-ever Annual Fund gift to the school, and he will donate $5 for anyone who increases their last previous gift. Take the challenge my making a gift today.
