Class of ’85 Scholarship – Citadel Class of '85

$50,000 ANONYMOUS SCHOLARSHIP CHALLENGE GIFT!!

ONLY 21 DAYS TO GRAB AN EXTRA $50,000 for the Class of ’85 scholarship !!!

Dear Classmate,

Thanks to everyone that has contributed, big and small, to our Class of 1985 Scholarship Drive over the past 5 years. In celebration of our 30th Reunion and the culmination of our initial fund drive, an anonymous classmate donor has stepped forward and issued a very generous gift challenge to help endow our new Scholarship. They will contribute an additional $50,000 if we over-achieve our initial $350,000 goal and reach $500,000 by the Reunion. By the way, there are already over 200 paid Reunion registrations…BE THERE!

AND WE CAN DO IT… WE ARE THAT CLOSE!

As a matter of fact, we are so close that I am not even going to tell you the current number…we need you all to step up now, TODAY, and make this challenge gift happen. You can multiply the effects of your gift, IF YOU GIVE NOW, thanks to the generosity of this anonymous classmate donor.
WE ARE FUNDING A SCHOLARSHIP FOREVER… HAVE YOU HELPED??

Only 108 classmates over the past five years have donated anything above the initial $9.85 reunion contribution back in 2010. Additionally, only 67 have given above $500. Some of you may have been hanging in the background and letting a few classmates do the heavy lifting, and that’s ok. BUT NOW, it’s time to do your part….BIG OR SMALL…and help us grab the $50,000 BONUS GIFT!! This is the time to put in your $250 or $500….or the $5000 or more some of you can afford…you know who you are. Please join me in presenting that $50,000 invoice stating DUE UPON RECEIPT in front of the entire class in November!!
