UPDATE: CHALLENGE MET! Early Bird Challenge: To help get the Day of Giving off the ground, a generous Deerfield trustee will donate $100,000 if 151 early-bird donors—one for each member of the amazing Deerfield faculty—make gifts between now and the big day.

UPDATE: CHALLENGE MET! Leap Year Challenge: A Deerfield trustee will make a gift of $250,000 if we reach our overall goal of 1,147 Big Green donors on the Day of Giving! Your gift—no matter the size—will get us one step closer to unlocking a quarter of a million dollars for Deerfield!

STAY TUNED FOR FINAL UPDATE! Young Alumni Challenge: This year, we’re excited to announce another ambitious goal for the Classes of 2009-2023! If at least 300 young alumni make a gift during the Day of Giving, a total of $10,000 will be unlocked for Deerfield—and—you’ll make Day of Giving history! When 150 young alumni donors give, Daniel ’13 and Michael ’18 Hirsch will together make a $5,000 donation. UPDATE: FIRST $5K UNLOCKED! Once we hit our overall goal of 300 young alumni donors, another $5,000 gift will be unlocked—courtesy of Charles Jones ’12—in honor of Deerfield’s young alumni.

UPDATE: CHALLENGE MET! First-Time Donor Challenge: If you’ve never made a gift to Deerfield, today is the day to make it count! If 50 donors make their first-ever gift on the Day of Giving, $30,000 in bonus funds will be unlocked for the Annual Fund, courtesy of a Deerfield trustee.

Loyalty Donor Challenge (for consecutive-year donors who have given for 5+ years): In recognition of your loyal support of Deerfield, a Deerfield trustee will match all renewed gifts from consecutive-year donors, dollar for dollar, up to $50,000. That’s double the impact for Deerfield!

Reunion Alumni Challenge: Classes ending in ’4s and ’9s! It’s your time to unite with pride and join the time-honored tradition of making a gift in celebration of your reunion year. In honor of their reunion milestones, Chris Halpin '94, Gus Lipman '89, Marc Johnson '74, Cricket Whitton '04, and Nick Hammerschlag '04 committed to match each gift made by alumni in a reunion year dollar for dollar!
