An important tradition, Generation Vassar invites alums, students, parents, and employees to help raise funds for critical areas of the College. In 2024, the one-week challenge brought the Vassar community together with fun challenges supporting the Vassar experience.

Generation Vassar Challenge

Starting February 26. One week. One goal. We did it!

Generation Vassar 2024 was a tremendous success, uniting over 2,760 alum donors, 283 parents and families, 75 employees, and numerous students in support of the Vassar experience in February’s final week. We are thrilled to share that we exceeded our combined donor goal and unlocked the $1,000,000 challenge! Heartfelt thanks go to our dedicated team of Fund Chair and Class Agent Volunteers!

Your gift, big or small, was deeply appreciated and valued—it will have an immediate impact. Any gift made between July 1, 2023 and March 1, 2024 counted for the challenge.

This year, 90 challengers from 42 classes, along with several parents of current students, came together to contribute over $1,000,000 in challenges. With your participation, Generation Vassar achieved all of its participation goals, unlocking all of the challenges and fully lighting up the iconic and beautiful Thompson Memorial Library in Vassar colors.

You’ve made this one week count and we are deeply thankful to you for keeping the tradition going!

See how your class finished.
