1869 Challenge 2019
Unstoppable
When you’re a Trinity Tiger, you turn challenge into a fighting chance.
With the 1869 Challenge, we took a big chance by setting a historic goal: 3,100 gifts in 1,869 minutes. You blew past that hours in advance, and then you shattered the next goal of 3,500 gifts. We couldn’t find a challenge you couldn’t meet.
This is a legacy we’ve been building, generation by generation, for 150 years. When you give to Trinity, you’re part of something bigger than yourself - you’ve joined a growing, evolving, potent force for good.
This force doesn’t sit still. Your gifts are already helping academics provide life-altering opportunities, student athletes break records, and student orgs create an unforgettable, vibrant campus environment.
The Challenge is over, but you can still show your support by visiting the Trinity giving page.
THANK YOU!!!!!!
