'98 wins again! Add the award to the list! ;) Thanks to everyone who helped lift us to the top of our challenge, and most importantly, THANK YOU for your support for Carleton and today's students!

It's time to mobilize! '98, it's time to claim another victory! The Best Half of the 90's challenge is underway between '96-99 and you can believe we plan to win this thing. But '97 is close! Come join us with your Giving Tuesday gift! go.carleton.edu/givingtuesday

It's Giving Tuesday, y'all! Here's our ask:

1. Make a donation today! You'll help future generations of Carls, and help Carleton alumni unlock $75,000 in at-risk matching funds to support today's Carleton students.

2. Join us tonight at 7pm for a Zoom call - whichever class of the late 90s gets the most folks to show up online wins points & bragging rights.

3. Spread the word: share the giving link — go.carleton.edu/GivingTuesday — via text, email, or social media with everyone in '98.

Hope to see you tonight!

Hey 1998! Let's win this thing!

In honor of Giving Tuesday, '96-'99 have teamed up for a challenge to make 200 gifts to support today's Carls.

Here's the deal. Between now and 11:59 pm on Tuesday, December 3 CST (aka Bald Spot time), the class with the most points wins bragging rights AND a shout out from leadership.

Here's how we get points:
- every gift a classmate makes is worth 2 points
- every classmate who attends the open zoom at 7 pm CST on 12/3 is worth 1 point

Here's how YOU can help:
- MAKE A GIFT between now and 11:59 pm CST on 12/3
- join us at this zoom at 7pm CST on 12/3
- Share the giving link — go.carleton.edu/GivingTuesday — via text, email, or social media with everyone in '98.

Most importantly, you’ll help Carleton alumni unlock $75,000 in at-risk matching funds to support today's Carleton students.

Heya classmates - it's been a minute! You know what time it is: the time of year when we ask you to think about including Carleton in your year-end giving. Specifically, we're asking you to think about making a gift next week, on Giving Tuesday.

Giving Tuesday is on December 3rd , and if we can hit 1,866 donations there will be $75,000 in matching funds from a generous alum. This is an all-or-nothing challenge: if we don't meet our goal, we don't get our money!

Plus, we are part of the Best Half of the ‘90s challenge. We’re up against ‘96 to ‘99 to see which class gives the most gifts and has the most attendees on a class Zoom call at 7:00 pm Central that evening. Our class pride is on the line…help us keep our class cred and bragging rights while also helping Carleton! More details coming, and we hope you’ll join us!

It's the last day of 2023, which means it's also the last day to cross things off that 2023 To Do list. If one of the things on your list was "donate to the AAF," here's your final chance!

Carleton's administrative offices are closed from December 23–January 1 (in accordance with Carleton’s new winter break policy for faculty/staff), so if you’d like to make a gift to Carleton before the tax deadline, please donate at give.carleton.edu

Wishing everyone a wonderful New Year!

Year-end is nearly upon us, so don't forget to renew your gift to the AAF! College offices will be closed from Dec. 23-31 so don’t delay - head on over to give.carleton.edu
