Class Gift Campaign
When making your Reunion plans, consider a special gift in honor of your Rosemont education, your former faculty, and, most especially, your Rosemont friendships and experiences. Your Reunion Gift will support the Rosemont Experience Fund. The Rosemont Experience Fund supports the annual operations of the College that provide each student with the personalized educational experience that is unique to Rosemont.
During the Rose Luncheon, and again at the Saturday Soiree, we will honor the Reunion class that raises the highest amount, and the class with the highest participation rate. Help your class to be recognized in this special way!
To make your gift or to learn more, please visit www.rosemont.edu/give or contact Helen Sciubba in the Advancement Office at hsciubba@rosemont.edu. 610.527.0200, ext. 2232.
