About

Faculty and Staff Appreciation Day 

In honor of the 250 Mercersburg faculty and staff members who help transform students' lives every day, our goal is to secure gifts from 250 parent and alumni donors in 24 hours. Please consider making a gift to the 2017-2018 Annual Fund as part of our Faculty and Staff Appreciation Challenge by 11:59 p.m. EDT tonight (May 8). 


Don't forget to mention a specific Mercersburg faculty or staff member or two when you make your gift—we will let them know they are appreciated!

Reunion Challenges

Class of 1968

To encourage your participation and generosity, the 50th reunion committee will match all gifts dollar for dollar up to $1,793,311. This includes Annual Fund donations, capital gifts, and estate gifts. You may designate your gifts however you please, though your participation today will be in the 2017-2018 Annual Fund.

Class of 1973

A special opportunity is available for the Class of 1973: if you secure 52 donors for the 2017-2018 Annual Fund (double last year's donors), an anonymous classmate will double down by giving an additional $10,000 to the Annual Fund. To date, 15 classmates have shown their support ... please join them!

Class of 1993

The Class of 1993 has a chance to earn up to $25,000 for support of current students thanks to a group of classmates. Any Annual Fund gift, no matter the size, will unlock $93 of the challenge dollars, and gifts of $1,000 or more will unlock an additional $1,000. Let's do this!

Class of 1998

To inspire you to make your best gift, the 20th reunion committee has generously pledged to match all Annual Fund gifts dollar for dollar, up to $25,000. As of today, we have $13,230 left to earn for current students! Let's do this!

Class of 2008

As a way to inspire the Class of 2008 to make their best gift, a classmate has pledged to match all Annual Fund gifts dollar for dollar, up to $25,000. We have $12,520 left to earn of this challenge! Further, this classmate will give an additional $5,000 for every 10 classmates who return for Reunion Weekend.

Class of 2013

To inspire leadership in the Annual Fund, a classmate has pledged to donate an additional $500 for the first 10 classmates who join the William Mann Irvine Society by making a gift of $500 or more. To date, we have secured seven new leadership donors, earning $3,500 for current students. There's still $1,500 left to earn of this challenge! Additionally, encourage your participation, a classmate has offered a challenge where gifts of any amount will unlock an additional $100 for the Annual Fund.

Updates
We did it!

In 48 hours, Mercersburg alumni and parents honored all 250 faculty and staff with 250+ gifts to the Annual Fund. 

We more than doubled the number of gifts from last year's challenge in celebration of National Teacher Appreciation Day. 

Thank you for your support of the current school year and for the expressions of gratitude you shared with the faculty and staff.

Still time to honor a Mercersburg teacher!

Mercersburg experienced a robust day of giving during yesterday's Faculty and Staff Appreciation Challenge! We've already doubled the number of Annual Fund gifts from last year's challenge, but we aren't done yet.

An anonymous Mercersburg family has put $10,000 on the line to ensure that we reach 250 donors by the end of the day!

Let's do this and reach that 250 donor mark!
