Mark your calendars! Elmira Everlasting, the College’s spring day of giving, is this Wednesday, April 24.

Once again this year, the day includes a Class Challenge to see which class can generate the greatest number of gifts and be named the “Most Everlasting Class.”

Show your everlasting love for the Purple and Gold and join us for this 24-hour giving challenge focused on raising funds for future Soaring Eagles. Every gift matters – whether someone from the Class of 1995 gives $19.95 or $199.50 or $1,995, every gift counts.

How can you get involved?

1. Find your Class in the list of Fundraisers. If you don't see your Class, that's OK. You can either become a fundraiser and create a page for your Class or just click the button above. Don't worry, we'll make sure your gift is counted toward your Class for the Class Challenge.

2. Participate in one of our special challenges - April 24 only!

- Calling all “Graduates of the Last Decade”! If you graduated between 2013 and 2023, gather your classmates and make your gifts from 7:00-8:00 a.m. Wednesday morning. President and Mrs. Lindsay will give $25 (up to $1,000) for every GOLD donor who gives during that time.

- It’s Power Hour! Jason Keith ’02 will give $25 (up to $1,000) for every donor who gives from noon-1:00 p.m.!

- Double your gift! Thanks to a generous donor, any gift of $250 to $1,000 made to the Annual Fund will be matched dollar for dollar, up to $5,000. This is the perfect way to double your impact!

- Attention Class of 2012! Kat Slye-Hernandez ’12 will match every Class of 2012 donation of $20.12 or more that goes towards the annual fund or the turf field up to $2,012!

- Double your turf field gift! Thanks to a generous donor, any gift of $500 or more will be matched dollar for dollar, up to $7,500!

With each challenge, your gift counts as one, their gift counts as one. That means more gifts representing your Class!
