Cohorts H and I are leading the Alumni Recurring Gift Campaign in honor of our 25th anniversary! Funds raised will go toward alumni events and scholarships. Rachel W. from Cohort I set the pace by being our first Reach alum to make a recurring gift! Rachel serves in Foreign Service with her husband and made her first recurring gift years ago, gradually increasing it when she received a raise or found herself scrolling – deciding to give rather than buy. Check your email to learn more about the campaign and how to be a Cohort Captain or click here to make your recurring gift: https://www.mightycause.com/story/10eyeg
