12 Days of Alumni Giveaways

During December, in a festive showcase of alumni-owned or managed businesses, Alumni Relations Manager Amanda Stephens ’15 orchestrated the “12 Days of Alumni Giveaways” social media campaign. The initiative, hosted on Instagram, aimed to expand FWCD’s alumni network. A total of 163 alumni participated in the campaign by liking the photo announcement, following the account, and tagging three former classmates in the comments for a chance to win one of the prizes.

To give the prizes a distinctive spotlight, Stephens unveiled one each day and announced the randomly selected prize winner for the following day. The initiative successfully fostered community engagement and celebrated the businesses of alumni entrepreneurs. Thank you to our alumni participants listed below:
