Save The Date: Annual Spring Day of Giving Returns April 23

Alumni, students, and friends of Elmira College can share their everlasting love for the Purple and Gold by participating in this year’s Elmira Everlasting on Wednesday, April 23.

This year, donors can help Elmira College unlock a special challenge: the Board of Trustees and Senior Officers have established a matching fund of over $75,000. Every gift of $500 or more will be matched dollar for dollar—doubling the impact of your contribution!

For our alumni, Elmira Everlasting also includes a Class Challenge to see which alumni 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 counts, whether someone from the Class of 1983 gives $19.83, $199.83, or $1,983.

Fundraising priorities for this year’s Elmira Everlasting include:

  • The Fund for Elmira College. This supports the College’s greatest needs each year—from direct student support and scholarships to buildings and grounds to classroom upgrades and enhancements.

  • The Turf Field. Elmira College opened our new multi-sport turf field that has enhanced the College’s athletic teams, enrollment and retention efforts, and the mental and physical well-being of our students on campus as identified in the College’s 2023-2028 Strategic Plan.

How You Can Get Involved
