Class Gift Opportunity
All Class of '02 alumni are encouraged to make a gift to Whitworth this year in honor of their 10-year reunion. Participation in giving each and every year is an important tradition at Whitworth that allows alumni to strengthen the reputation of their alma mater and their degree(s), and to enhance the Whitworth experience for current and future students.

Please join your reunion committee in making a gift to the Class of 2002 Honorary Scholarship. The goal is to raise $15,000 in gifts and pledges prior to the reunion to support at least three students in the next academic year. Alumni are encouraged to spread their gift over the next 12 months to have the greatest impact, but any gift amount is appreciated. Please visit our giving page to make your gift.

Questions?
If you have questions relating to your reunion, please contact Associate Director of Development for Annual Giving Liz Strauch at estrauch@whitworth.edu or 509.777.4769.
