Class Community Service
20th Reunion 2,001 Hours of Service Challenge
In honor of our 20th Reunion, we have issued a challenge to our class to complete 2,001 hours of community service—in a socially-distanced way—in our own communities.
We're leaving it up to you to choose how best to serve, and every little bit helps. If you want project ideas or suggestions for service activities, check out the list below!
We even have an option for those of you with more money than time to give: choose any community-focused organization, and you can log one minute for every dollar you donate.
Please log your hours and donations by clicking the button below and we will let the class know once we've reached our goal!
