2nd Annual Yale Harvard Alumni Fund Participation Challenge

Final Challenge Results:

Harvard = 1,010 Yale = 938
 

Thank you to all who participated in the Challenge!

All gifts during the Challenge will be made in honor of those affected by Sandy.

Classes of 1998-2012, get pumped up!

Harvard may have won on the field last year but Yale won off the field thanks to the support of our youngest alumni. Now the challenge is back and bigger than ever! This year, let’s have Yale go 2-0, with a win on and off the field.

During the inaugural Yale Harvard Challenge last year, the challenge classes (2007-2011) secured 330 vs. Harvard’s 299 donors. This year with the expansion of the Challenge to include the youngest 15 classes, we hope to beat Harvard by an even larger margin.  

To ensure a victory again, we need your Alumni Fund participation between Thursday, November 1 and kickoff on Saturday, November 17.

It’s pretty simple, the university with the most donors wins.
