There are only four days left for Fairfield parents to participate in the 2020 Parent Leadership Challenge and approximately 150 parent-donors are still needed to help reach the 500 parent-donors goal to unlock a $100,000 challenge gift for student life. All gifts for the Parent Leadership Challenge are invested in academic enrichment, student life and wellness initiatives, and financial support for our students in need. The Challenge ends on Tuesday, October 20.

Senior Parents have a special opportunity to both participate in the Challenge while honoring their soon-to-be graduate. The Honor Your Graduate program allows senior 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. In addition, senior parents can also write their students a heartfelt message that will be placed in a specially designed celebration email and sent to their student a week before Commencement as a surprise!

During last year’s Parent Leadership Challenge, approximately 500 parents came together to surpass the goal and unlock the $100,000 challenge gift, with the parents of the Class of 2023 showing the most Stag spirit. Currently, the Class of 2024's parents are in the lead. Which class's parents will take the top spot this year?
