Brew3D: Lights. Camera. Challenge.
Our third annual crowdfunding challenge - Brew3D: Lights. Camera. Challenge. - will premiere at 9 a.m. on Thursday, February 27. Vassar’s 27 teams will have 27 hours to reach their goal of 4,027 gifts in support of our student-athletes. We’ve rewritten the script this year by dividing the programs into three divisions based on roster size.
Thanks to the generosity of a trio of superstars, this year there will be three ways to win. Francesca Gutierrez Amann '91 has made it possible for the team in each division that scores the highest number of unique donors to win $2,500. Additionally, each team will create a challenge-themed video, with a panel of judges awarding $2,500 for the most creative video in each division, courtesy of President Bradley. And, if we reach our overall goal of 4,027 gifts, the Brewers Fund will receive $10,000 thanks to Caroline Gregson Wabl '95.
How is the winner of the $2,500 challenge for most number of unique donors within each division determined?
The team with the greatest overall number of unique donors within each division will receive $2,500. Multiple gifts identified as coming from the same donor or utilizing alternate names will only be counted once.
How is the winner of the $2,500 challenge for most creative video within each division determined?
A panel of five current Vassar faculty members and administrators will review all of the videos and select a winner for each division.
You can play your part by making a gift between 9 a.m. on February 27 and noon on February 28, as well as generating some “buzz” through your social media accounts.
