A group of students stand outdoors holding Greek letters and heart signs above text promoting a $30,000 Alumni Council Champion Challenge for #SMCMGives.

Are you passionate about a particular academic program, student club, varsity sport or scholarship at St. Mary's College of Maryland? If so, consider being a Giving Tuesday Champion! 

This Giving Tuesday on December 2, join the SMCM Alumni Council Challenge by signing up to be a champion and compete for a share of $30,000 in prizes donated by the Alumni Council for your favorite SMCM cause or fund.

Here’s how it works, step by step:

1. Today through November 10 – Register to be a Champion
Sign up to represent your favorite SMCM cause and compete for bonus funding during Giving Tuesday.

 

2. Leading up to Giving Tuesday – Prepare and Promote
Use the tools we provide (optional Zoom info sessions, email and social media templates and your personalized giving link) to inspire friends and family to donate $10 or more on Giving Tuesday and vote for you as their Champion.

 

3. On Giving Tuesday – Reach Out and Rally Support
Share your special giving link to direct donations to your chosen cause. From the $30,000 donated by the Alumni Council, you’ll earn $10 for every alum or student who votes for you, and if you finish among the top ten Champions (by vote), your cause will receive an additional $500 - $5,000 prize.

 

4. Following Giving Tuesday – Celebrate Your Impact
Take pride in what you accomplished and enjoy the exclusive SMCM merch you earned based on your total number of votes.

 

Sign up to be a Giving Tuesday Champion by midnight on Monday, Nov. 10.
