Give at Lunch!

We're still collecting money for the class gift! This week we will be in the Portfolio cafe to collect in person. If you have some cash left from lunch bring it to us and contribute to the gift.

To date we are 35% there, with 4.9% of students participating. Our goal is to have 15% of all graduating student participate, any amount counts.

We'll make it easy- hand money to us at lunch, or give here online.

John's Check Signing

Give with John!

The Class of 2009 has raised enough money for the first 5 bins! Better still, we have met President Maeda's challenge to raise at least $1,250 by the halfway mark and in return he will buy our 6th bin at the last Student Alliance meeting of the year on Wednesday, May 6 at 6 pm!

Thanks to the 3% of the class has given individually, as well as to the Architecture department, whose sizeable gift helped us reach this mid-term goal.

If you haven't made your gift, join President Maeda tomorrow night and you can make your gift together. As always you can give online (remember to write "Senior Gift" in the restricted gift line). And stay tuned here to keep up on our progress.

John Maeda's Challenge

To get our Senior Gift going John Maeda has issued a challenge: raise enough money for the first 5 bins by May 6^th, and he’ll personally buy the next one. So far we are on our way to meeting this goal; help us bridge the gap and show John that we can raise the money to be announced at the last Student Alliance and Graduate Student Alliance meetings of the year.

We only have ONE WEEK left to fulfill John's challenge! Make your Mark on campus!

Please give to the Class Gift. No matter the amount, it is important. You can go to www.risd.edu/give and make your gift online; or fill out the form that is in your RISD mailbox and return it in the given envelope to the mailroom.

Class of 2009 to Lead the Way

RISD's First-Ever Senior Gift Campaign is Underway!

The Class of 2009 has announced RISD’s 1st Annual Senior Gift campaign, with the goal of raising enough money to give RISD twenty industrial-sized bins to facilitate the recycling of art supplies on campus through 2nd Life.  The bins will be similar to the bins we use for move-in day, but usage will be reserved specifically for 2nd Life recycling.  

Each bin costs approximately $250, so the Senior Gift Committee has set a fund raising goal of $5,000.  The Committee is asking every member of the Class of 2009 to make a donation of $20.09 in honor of our class year to help support recycling here at RISD.

Giving is easy! Simply go online to www.risd.edu/giving and write “Senior Gift” in the box asking where you’d like your gift to be directed.

Then be sure to return to this blog frequently in order to see how our Class Gift Campaign is progressing!
