CLASS COLOR CHALLENGE

What's your Class Color?

THE CLASS COLOR CHALLENGE IS BACK!

We are challenging each class color to see who can raise the most for the Cupola Fund! Last year YELLOW lit up the columns with less than a $50 lead! Will they win again this year? Join your fellow yellow, green, blue, or red classmates and fight to light the columns! 
 
The class color who collectively RAISES THE MOST MONEY for the Day of Giving will light up the COLUMNS and the CUPOLA of the 1852 building with their Class Color!

Join us on Friday, May 16, at 8:00 p.m. to see the lighting!

BUT WAIT - THERE'S MORE! Every alumna donation will be DOUBLED, up to $5,000 per class color, thanks to the generosity of the Brown Family!
