Young Alumni Challenge Kicks Off Monday
5/20/2024 12:00:00 PM | Athletics
With the end of the fiscal year quickly approaching at the end of June, Dartmouth Athletics is pleased to announce the second annual Young Alumni Fundraising Challenge, which will start on Monday, May 20, and run through Monday, June 3. This fundraising initiative is part of the year-long Friends' fundraising program, which provides unrestricted support across varsity and club sports.
The challenge will focus on Dartmouth's youngest alumni, from the classes of 2014 through 2023, and encourage participation through a friendly competition among varsity sport programs. In addition, the challenge will be structured based on a percentage of young alumni donors in one division and will be comprehensive in nature, meaning that all gifts from the 2024 fiscal year will count and the standings at the start of the challenge will reflect all gifts received since July 1, 2023. Every gift counts, so whether you're an annual supporter or a first-time giver, your contribution makes a difference. All gifts of $10 or more are eligible and will fuel your team's success!
To make things more interesting, we are excited to announce that for the second-consecutive year, the winning program will be awarded a surprise prize! Sailing sailed away with the challenge last year with an 80% participation rate, winning Nike Dunks for the current team. Also, any young alum (2014-2023) who makes a gift between July 1, 2023 – June 3, 2024, will be entered into a raffle to win the latest signature Dartmouth Athletics swag!
