PACE ALUMNI CHALLENGE
The Challenge:
The Pace Alumni Challenge is an opportunity for you and your classmates to show a little spirit—or maybe a lot! All gifts to The Pace Alumni Fund support need-based financial aid, providing new generations of students with access to the opportunities and experiences that Pace gave you. Every gift matters, no matter the amount! Set the Pace. Give Today!
Timeline:
The Challenge runs from Dec. 1 through Jan. 5, the final day of Spirit Week. While gifts to The Pace Alumni Fund are celebrated year-round, only those gifts submitted between July 1, 2017, and Jan. 5, 2018, will count towards the competition.
Why Should Alumni Give Back?
• Alumni-giving participation impacts Pace's standing in national rankings among other independent schools. We currently rank well below our peer schools—10 percent of Pace alumni participate in giving, while 18 percent of alumni at Lovett and 28 percent at Westminster support their schools financially. The Knights can do better!
• Foundations regularly request alumni-giving participation rates before making grants to a school.
• Contributing to The Pace Alumni Fund is the simplest and most fundamental way you can support Pace.
