Reunion Campaigns

Reunions are milestones in the collective life of a Harvard class and of individual classmates. Occurring every five years, they are a time of fun, reflection, and reconnection with old friends and with Harvard. Throughout the year leading up to a reunion, class gift drives reengage classmates through committee meetings, pre-reunion events, and phonathons. In the push for special gifts and participation, volunteers can have fun competing to achieve new records for their class or to break existing reunion records. Large gifts and small are all welcome as expressions of loyalty and support for Harvard.
