Leaving a Legacy...

Reunion Gift Effort

We, the reunion committee, are asking our classmates to support the 2015 Gene J. DeFeudis Wellness Center Challenge. This challenge, put forth by one of Worcester State's strongest supporters, is encouraging alumni to make a donation in support of the Wellness Center by matching all gifts made between now and December 31st dollar for dollar! To learn more about the Wellness Center, please click here.

 

How Can I Help?

By participating in this challenge, you are basically doubling your impact! For example...

  • You Donate $10 + Mr. DeFeudis Matches Your $10 = $20 Total Impact
  • You Donate $15 + Mr. DeFeudis Matches Your $15 = $30 Total Impact
  • You Donate $20 + Mr. DeFeudis Matches Your $20 = $40 Total Impact
  • You Donate $25 + Mr. DeFeudis Matches Your $25 = $50 Total Impact

Our gifts, no matter the size, will Change Lives!
