Mount Holyoke College Class of 2004

Thank you to everyone who has given so far! Not only is your gift going to support some of the programs listed below, but it will also help us beat Smith in our MHC-Smith reunion challenge.

If you haven’t given yet, there is still time! Any gift, no matter the amount, helps! If we can get 10 people to donate each week until the end of the month we will take back our lead!(www.mtholyoke.edu/giving)

Thank an Alum Days (April 9-10) is an opportunity to honor the alumnae donors who provide the critical support that gives MHC the freedom to think beyond the day-to-day cost of educating each student in order to create and refine the world-class education that is the hallmark of the MHC experience.

What alumnae support provides:

• MHC traditions, like convocation, M&Cs, and Mountain Day.
• Innovative programs and initiatives like the Lynk that prepare students to be leaders in their communities and put MHC on the map.
• Internships and research opportunities that prepare MHC students to face the future with confidence.
• Learning outside the classroom through orientation programming, guest lecturers, Taboo dialogs, Weissman Center speakers, and the cultural houses.

2004 Challenge—Score more for ’04!

We set the bar incredibly high during the FebruMary challenge, getting 50 donors in just 24 hours. Imagine what we can do in a month!

With our 10th reunion next month,  thanks to the generosity of a classmate, we can raise an additional $2,004 for our class gift while also taking the lead in the MHC v. Smith challenge!

How? By working together!

Make your gift this month and a sister Lyon will add an additional $50 to our class gift, up to $2004.

IMPORTANT: Gifts of any size count. We need donors, the challenge will add the dollars. The only gift that is too small is no gift at all.

WHAT YOU CAN DO: Make your gift to The Mount Holyoke Fund today, and then ask a friend to make her gift! Let’s make a big difference for Mount Holyoke!

Two Great Colleges.
Two Powerful Legacies.
One Mission.

Women’s colleges change the world. We approach things boldly. And inspire each other along the way.

Now, in a philanthropic twist on a friendly rivalry, the Mount Holyoke College class of 2004 has challenged the class of 2004 from Smith to raise participation in annual giving—all for the great cause of women’s education.

Beginning on March 10, we’re challenged to come together to make gifts (of any amount!) to The Mount Holyoke Fund. The women’s college with the highest level of participation wins!

The prize? Bragging rights to a higher participation rate and a champagne toast paid for by the College at our Saturday dinner during Reunion!

The deadline to participate is Friday, May 16 at 9 p.m. South Hadley time—reunion weekend at both Mount Holyoke and Smith. Game on! Let’s show what can happen when women stand together to help other women. Thank you for making your gift now!
