Decade vs. Decade

Founders Day Fundraiser

National Alumni Association

In honor of Founders Day, the National Alumni Association proudly presents Decade vs. Decade—a spirited fundraising challenge that brings alumni together through friendly competition, unity, and purpose.

This exciting initiative invites alumni to represent their graduating decade and compete to raise the most funds in support of the Alumni Association’s scholarships, student success initiatives, and alumni programming. From the earliest classes to the most recent graduates, every decade plays a vital role in strengthening our legacy and investing in the future.

How It Works

• Alumni are grouped by graduation decade (e.g., 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s, 2020s)
• Each decade competes to raise the highest total dollars and/or largest number of donors
• Contributions are tracked throughout the campaign and celebrated during Founders Day festivities
• Alumni may give individually, rally classmates, or organize decade-led giving efforts

Why Participate

• Celebrate Founders Day with pride and purpose
• Reconnect with classmates and alumni across generations
• Support student scholarships and institutional priorities
• Strengthen alumni engagement through fun, friendly competition
• Demonstrate collective impact—one decade at a time

Recognition & Awards

Winning decades will receive:

• Founders Day recognition and bragging rights
• Special acknowledgment on Alumni Association platforms
• Certificates, trophies, or commemorative honors (as applicable)
• Recognition at national, regional, or chapter events

Campaign Impact

All funds raised through the Decade vs. Decade Founders Day Fundraiser directly support:

• General Alumni Scholarships
• Student Success & Retention Initiatives
• Alumni Engagement and Programming
• Leadership Development and Mentorship Efforts

Together, We Rise

Decade vs. Decade is more than a fundraiser—it’s a celebration of our shared history, enduring bonds, and collective responsibility to give back. No matter the decade, every gift counts, and every alumnus matters.

Choose your decade. Give with pride. Celebrate our legacy.
