A New Year for Giving!

Why does your participation matter to us so much, you ask?

We don’t just want to achieve our financial goal with a handful of large donations. We want to engage the entire alumni base in support of preserving and improving the experience they know and love—because when we support and pass something down to the next generation of students, big things happen.

Win-win, anyone?

Sincerely, Your ’85 DCF Head Agents Diane, Joe, Jenny, Joe and Rise
