^{Dartmouth Athletics Young Alumni Challenge Officially Launches}

🌲 Challenge Structure 

It’s time to bring the heat in this friendly, sport-vs-sport competition! The stakes are high, with standings based on the percentage of young alumni donors (2015-2024). Every gift counts, so whether you’re an annual supporter or a first-time giver, your contribution makes a difference! All gifts of $10 or more will fuel your team’s success! 

 ✨ New This Year – New Donor Tiers Bonus! 

We’re raising the bar (and the stakes) with a new donor incentive structure! In addition to helping your team climb the leaderboard, bringing in new young alumni donors will earn your team a bonus boost: 

🎯 1–5 new donors: +3% 

🎯 6–10 new donors: +5% 

🎯 11–20 new donors: +7% 

🎯 21+ new donors: +10% 

The more new donors you bring in, the greater your team’s edge in the standings! 

🔥 Bragging Rights 

Think you and your teammates can rally enough support for your former team(s)? The winning program will not only secure bragging rights for a year, but they will also be awarded with a surprise prize! Sailing sailed away (pun intended) with the challenge the past two years; will they go for a three-repeat? Or will another team take the throne and have bragging rights this year?

🎟️ Raffle 

Any young alum (2015-2024) who makes a gift between July 1, 2024 – June 1, 2025, will be entered into a raffle to win the latest signature Dartmouth Athletics swag!
