If 500 or more parents participate, $100,000 will be unlocked to strengthen the University and enhance each student’s Fairfield experience.
Together, parents can make a difference for Fairfield and its students. Each year, parents advance our mission by generously participating in our Parents Fund challenges to enhance their students' experiences and support their class years. From October 1–31, parents can participate in the Parent Leadership Challenge by making a gift of any size. If 500 parents participate, a $100,000 challenge gift will be unlocked for the Parents Fund to enhance each student’s Fairfield experience.
There is a special opportunity for Senior Parents during the Challenge as well. Parents of seniors can lend their support to the Honor Your Graduate campaign. This program, exclusively for parents of the Class of 2020, gives parents the opportunity to make a tribute gift in their child’s honor and acknowledge their student’s time and hard work at Fairfield. The Honor Your Graduate program is a Fairfield tradition and a great way for parents to celebrate and commemorate their student’s time at the University.
Parent support is integral to Fairfield’s growth and student success. During last year’s Parent Leadership Challenge, 582 parents came together to make a huge difference and unlock the Challenge gift. These parents helped strengthen Fairfield’s legacy of excellence and showed that they believe in what Fairfield can do, and will do, for their students. Gifts to the Parents Fund are invested in academic programs and scholarships, student activities, and continuous technology upgrades across campus. If parents set an example of commitment to furthering the University’s goals, their actions will inspire the generosity of others.
