2010 Senior Gift

The Class of 2010 Senior Gift competition is underway!

Join the 2010 Team by Donating Now »

Facts about the Senior Gift:

The senior class gift is more about PARTICIPATION versus dollars raised. Every person counts and everyone should know that their donation is important. Whether you give $10.00, $20.10, or $250.00 (non sibi), what matters most is that you are part of the senior gift process and that you participate.

Our goal is to beat the participation record all-time, set by the Class of 2009 at 93% Here are the participation statistics over the past five years:

Participation Statistics:
Class of 2005* 85% participation
Class of 2006 70% participation
Class of 2007 60% participation
Class of 2008 63% participation
Class of 2009 93% participation
*Senior Gift Participation record. (Dollars raised over the past five years have ranged from $6,000 to $20,000.)

Our Goal:

The class of 2010 wants to reach a 90% participation rate. In fact, we think we can hit 93%!!

How are we going to achieve this goal?

In order to make this fun and manageable, we have broken the senior class into six teams and assigned each team a color. We have 4-5 captains for each team:

Your team captains will be contacting you to let you know that you are on their team. They will also be encouraging you to join in and give to the senior gift. They will think of fun spirited ways to engage their teams and compete to try to be the first team to reach 100% participation. Overall class participation will be measured and announced from time to time in all school meetings, and on the website.

How do I make a donation/give to my Senior Gift?

You can either work with your team captain and give cash which will be transferred to the annual giving office or you can go online and use a credit card to make a donation. When you give, you will notice that you will have a chance to give your gift in honor of someone. If you would like to give your gift in honor of one of your teachers, you can write the teacher’s name on the gift slip or on the online form. A special note will go to that teacher indicating that your donation was in honor of him/her. (The amount of your gift will not be disclosed in the note.)

Incentives

Along the way there will be fun incentives for the class in order to increase participation. For example, all seniors who have made a donation by February 27, will be entered into a drawing for special prizes. An Andover alum has donated Celtics tickets and Red Sox tickets which will be raffled off in this drawing.

Questions?

Email your team captain or contact Jenny Savino or Whitney Grace.
