College Launches 1826 Challenge
New gifts to the Annual Fund in June will trigger grants totaling up to $100,000 in the 1826 Challenge. S. Robert Beane '58, James Fisher '77, George Jenkins '74, and Bob Sell '84 have pledged funding providing another $25,000 to Lafayette as each level of new gifts is reached: 250, 600, 1,000, and 1,826 gifts. Each week in June, a pair of tickets to November's Lafayette-Lehigh football game will be given to a new donor through a drawing. The 1826 Challenge webpage will debut a different video created for the campaign on the first four Tuesdays of the month. To receive notification when a new video has been posted, email fund@lafayette.edu. The webpage also will provide updates on the campaign’s progress and reveal the winners of the drawings.
