You are asking your classmates to raise money for The Wharton Fund in honor of your Class Reunion.

• A gift or pledge to The Wharton Fund or the Lauder Fund of any size will automatically credit toward your Class Gift Campaign
• Show results towards fundraising goal
  • In honor of our milestone reunion, we have put together fundraising goals for our class and we’re ## donors and $##,### away from achieving them. Join today!
• Use language like: “Join me in making a gift” (If you have made a gift)
• Fundraising leaves a legacy and strengthens the brand of the School
• Your Wharton liaison will suggest ask amounts for your classmates
• Benjamin Franklin Society members have an outsized impact on reinforcing the core of everything Wharton stands for. It is only with the generosity of our leadership donors that the School is able to thrive today and plan for tomorrow. Benjamin Franklin Society membership starts at $2,500 annually; alumni celebrating their first reunion milestone are eligible to join the Young Franklin Society at the $1,000 level. For more information, visit whr.tn/bfs 
• Make a Pledge, Amplify your Impact: The power of your gift can be amplified when you make a multi-year commitment. Make a pledge of up to five years and the full pledge amount will count towards our Class Gift total. For example, if you pledge to give $2,500 every year for five years, you are recognized for your commitment to your Class Gift at the $12,500 level.
• You can double or triple the impact of your gift if you or your spouse works for a matching gift company. It will be counted towards your Class Gift goal just like any other gift. Find out if your employer offers a matching gift program at whr.tn/match.
•  Timing
  • In December, “Make your gift before tax year-end”
  • January-April, “Join our Class Gift, help us towards our goal”
  • In May, “Make your gift before Reunion, help us hit our goal before May 14”
  • In June, “Make your gift before fiscal year-end (June 30); there’s still time to be counted for our Class Gift.”
