True Blue '23 Challenge

True Blue means being part of something larger than ourselves. It’s about daring to chase the extraordinary and coming together to pave the way for future generations of Colby students. Are you True Blue?

Join the True Blue ’23 Challenge by making a gift of any size to Colby before 11:59 p.m. ET on February 27. When you invest in Colby’s future, you’re making an immediate difference—and during True Blue ’23, your impact expands even further.

Each time we reach a donor participation milestone, we’ll unlock additional challenge gifts. When we reach the final milestone of 2,023 donors, we will unlock a matching gift of $100,000 from Trustee Joe Boulos ’68.! 

When donor participation benchmarks are met, challenge gifts will be unlocked.
