Why Help?
With the unprecedented times we've been living in for the past year and a half, two things ring true:
1) Some of our classmates have faired well financially during this pandemic (investing and buying stocks at an all time low, staying gainfully employed, etc.) and/or have been quite successful throughout the past few decades (and yes, we're very proud of you!).
2) Some of our classmates have truly struggled throughout this pandemic financially, and cannot afford to attend due to the amount of money involved with traveling, or enjoying a night or two with their former classmates they'd love to see. Some of them have also lost their jobs and are living off of unemployment.
Therefore, if you have been fortunate enough to relate to option 1 above, please take a moment to help donate to this weekend's events to help aid in getting THE MOST classmates we can have for our 35th reunion. We know you'd absolutely love to see them, and that most of them are too proud to accept any assistance (hence why this is a good way to lower the costs for them so know one is called out for their personal situation).

How will my donation money be spent?
