2010 Challenge for the New Year.
Surpassed.
FebruMary Young Alumnae Challenge?
We got this.
Class of 2010, let’s be real – we kick ass when it comes to these kinds of things. Are we just that much more competitive? More committed? More obsessed with Mary Lyon? I don’t know. But I know I just love that every time MHC throws a challenge at us, we don’t just meet it, we go above and beyond. It’s a nice reputation we’re earning, don’t you think?
You probably just found out about this FebruMary thing coming up, and your first thought was that this is a weird pun for a kind of insignificant birthday. I know I can’t stop plugging it into the Subway commercial song. But then your second thought was, I will absolutely give something so we can WIN! And so current students can get financial aid and the lights can stay on and stuff.
But silliness aside, you know how important it is to give back to the place that gave us so much. There’s a whole page about it here on our site. To find out just how this new challenge works, the rules are all laid out for us. Make a gift on February 10th (that’s 10 for 2010). The class with the most participants (NOT the most dollars!) wins a matching gift of $1,837. If you have the means and desire to make a Cornerstone Gift, it will be matched, too.
Already gave this fiscal year? Well, thanks! You’re awesome! Feel free to do it again on February 10th! Thinking about it, but haven’t gotten around to it yet? February 10th is a great day to do it! Call your old moving group. Tweet it wildly. Snapchat a picture of Mary Lyon to every 2010er in your address book. Spread the word about February 10th, and give back to MHC.
