MPH Red & White Society
Announcing the Young Alumni Giving Levels
Give back and support the next generation at MPH!
| |
This year, we are excited to launch the Red & White Society, to celebrate donors with annual contributions of $1970+ with additional levels for our young alums 0-5 years out ($19.70) and 5-10 years out ($197) from graduation. A smaller recurring monthly gift is a great way to support MPH and reach these giving levels. Recurring gifts can be easily set up on our giving page.
As key partners in our program, members of the Red & White Society receive special recognition, swag, and event invitations. Please see details on our giving page. We hope you will consider joining our Red & White Society today!
In honor of the merger, in 1970, that created the Manlius Pebble Hill School, the Red & White Society honors donors who ensure MPH's continued excellence through annual leadership gifts of $1,970 and greater. A smaller, recurring monthly gift is a great way to support MPH and reach these giving levels.
