Pass the torch
The Class of 1976 started it. Your class can take a shift.
This fund was organized by one class on purpose: to prove the model, then hand it on. A living legacy does not work if the same twenty people run it until they can’t.
We are looking for other Springfield classes willing to:
- Sponsor a scholarship year
- Run one fundraiser
- Sell a class design in the shop
- Take on a board seat or a reunion liaison role
- Tell a younger class that this exists
You do not need to rebuild the fund. You need to pick up one piece of it.
What taking a shift looks like
One class. One season.
A class year adopts a season. You promote the shop, host one event, and help review applications — or you simply raise a set amount and let the existing volunteers handle the rest. Either version counts.
Two ways to take a shift
Hands on: promote the shop, host one event, help review applications.
Hands off: raise a set amount and let the existing volunteers handle the rest.
Springfield keeps graduating students. The fund should keep graduating volunteers.
