What counts towards my Reunion Class Gift?

5th-45th Reunion Class Gifts support the Gettysburg Fund. Gettysburg Fund outright gifts, recurring gifts, and future pledges count toward your class gift. You can have the biggest impact by making a five-year recurring pledge. The entire amount pledged will count toward your class gift goal!

50th Reunion Class Gift includes annual giving support, capital and endowment gifts, and planned gifts. To learn more, visit the 50th Reunion Class Gift page here.
