Class of 1990 Soars Again: Repeat Win in FWCD Fund Challenge
For the second year running, the Class of 1990 earned highest-percentage-ofgiving to The FWCD Fund accolades during the four weeks of the Alumni Peer-to-Peer Giving Challenge. They secured their win with a more than 60% participation rate. As winners, the class earned a special red carpet luncheon.
The overarching goal of the challenge was to increase alumni giving to The FWCD Fund by introducing an element of friendly competition between classes to motivate alums near and far to participate and contribute to the School.
“What our class has done is unprecedented among annual giving,” said Asad Dean ’90, Alumni Council President. “Our level of participation far exceeds national averages and literally a doubling and tripling of the averages. I hope it has shown the Falcon community that participation is the most important aspect of peerto-peer. I credit the entire Class of 1990, who led us to a repeat victory. To me, it certainly is historic. Their collective kindness, generosity, and Falcon spirit fly higher than ever. I feel a great affinity for my class and what we accomplished together.
“As the saying goes, ‘To the victor goes the spoils.’ Fort Worth Country Day spoiled us with a fabulous, southern comfort meal. Every class that achieved 60% was eligible for this incentive,” Dean continued. “Alumni Relations Manager Amanda Stephens ’15 rolled out the red carpet for us …. Chef Steve [Novak] and Pastry Chef Kaitlyn [White] delighted us with their culinary capabilities. It was a festive lunch complete with Country Day plaid accoutrements. Everyone who attended had a great time, and we really appreciate how special our alma mater made us feel.”
