About

Join us for the Gettysburgives Challenge on March 26-27! This year, if 2,700 donors make a gift during the Challenge, our generous sponsors committed to giving $940,000 to the Gettysburg Fund, directly supporting the current student experience.


Since 2015, Gettysburgives has inspired alumni, parents and friends to give nearly $8.3 million in gifts that have had a lasting impact on Gettysburg students as they prepare to shape the future.


Because of you, great things happen when Gettysburgives!

A group of 16 generous reunion alumni sponsors have committed $160,000 to the Gettysburg Fund to inspire support for Reunion Class Gifts! Help us reach the goal of 500 reunion donors by making your gift during Gettysburgives.
