2022 PGSS Annual Alumni Challenge
Monday, November 7 - Sunday, November 20
Giving future Govies the gift of a strong STEM foundation!
To donate, type your PGSS Class Year and click search!
Since 2010, PGSS alumni have given more than $1,467,000 in support of the five week, residential summer program. Last year, 24.94% of alumni participated, raising $239,000 in support of the program and endowment.
While it is our ultimate goal to receive annual financial program support through the Commonwealth's budget, PGSS has become somewhat self-sustaining by sending 56-72 students for each of the last 11 years. If we are to keep our level of 72 students who will attend this summer, it will be with the help of alumni and parents to help fund at least a third of the organization's annual costs.
3 Goals for 2022's AAC
Our first goal is to reach overall alumni participation of 25%;
we've accomplished this for the past four years! Reaching this goal will allow us to demonstrate alumni devotion to the Program to our corporate sponsors and foundation grantors, members of the Commonwealth's legislature, the Department of Education, and the Department of Labor & Industry.
Second, we would like to have at least one NEW DONOR for each class (meaning an alumnus/a who has never given to PGSS Campaign before).
Our third goal is to raise $184,000 from this year's challenge in support of sending 72 students to the 2023 Program.
New this year! We have invited all of the Parents of Govies (POGs) to participate as a "POG Class" to join in supporting the Class of 2023!
