Class of 1990 Wins Peer-to-Peer Giving Challenge

During a 48-hour period from November 11-12, 2022, Class Agents and Alumni Council members were encouraged to reach out to their classmates to give to The FWCD Fund, the School's annual fund. Participation was the key! The reward? The class with the highest giving percentage earned a lunch on campus! Congratulations to the Class of 1990 with a 50% participation rate! The runnerup was the Class of 1967 at 29% participation.

“In a fast-paced world where everyone is incredibly busy I took the advice of ‘Ma Bell’ and that was via phone to reach out and touch as many of my friends and classmates in pursuit of the prize in the peer-to-peer challenge,” said Asad Dean ’90, Alumni Council President. “By investing time in reaching out actively and directly, our class stepped up beyond my expectations. In the process I had plenty of wonderful conversations and learned about their lives. We pulled together on behalf of FWCD, and I am so proud of the class of 1990.”

There is still time for alumni to boost their class percentages: consider a gift in the amount of your graduation year. For example, if you graduated in 2005, a gift of $20.05 makes a big difference. Visit fwcd.org/give today.
