Alumni Giving Challenge

Cougars Unite

The goal of the Alumni Giving Challenge is to increase philanthropic participation for Gross Catholic. What better time to do that than homecoming week, when alumni come together to celebrate their affinity for their alma mater. We challenge all graduating classes to a friendly competition to see which class can achieve the highest giving percentage. This year we challenge each class to reach at least 22% participation. Check out the leaderboard HERE to see how many donors are needed from your class, to reach your goal!

How to Win

The class with the largest percent of participation is declared the “winner” of the Alumni Giving Challenge. The winning class is recognized on the alumni page of our website, on social media and additionally, in the Fall Dux Esto magazine. ALSO the class composite (located in the entrance school) is adorned with the first place ribbon during the following school year!

Congratulations to last year's Alumni Giving Challenge Winners, the Class of 2003! They had over 27% class participation!
