Young Alum Challenge a HUGE Success!
We are thrilled to announce the final results of our very first Young Alum Challenge. On Tuesday, we challenged our young CMW alumnae, ages 40 and under, to give $5,500 to the Annual Fund in 55 hours. $5,500 is the price of one Main Session tuition in 2015. If our young alum succeeded, they would raise enough money to send one child to camp.
We are proud to say that our young alum answered the call, giving well above the goal! In 55 hours they have given a total of $8,405.50 to the Annual Fund. This is enough money to not only send one camper to Main Session, but almost enough to send another one to June Session as well!
Well done, ladies! The last several hours of the challenge were particularly impressive as gifts began to pour in. We can’t tell you how proud we are of all of you pulling together and giving so generously. To put things into perspective, this young group of donors included not only young professionals, but college students, grad students, unpaid interns, and high school students who just this past summer were campers and Junior Counselors. We saw so many of you posting on Facebook and Instagram last night about why you gave to the campaign. Way to #fightthegoodfight!
