Happy Leap Day!

Greetings,

Happy Leap Day! Or, as it is sometimes known, Intercalery Day.

By whatever name, we are happy to commemorate the day AFTER Mary Lyon’s Birthday (February 28) with an important announcement for members of the Class of 1977.

This year, we have a special class challenge as part of March4MHC. The 11-member class agent team has banded together to offer an incentive to encourage participation. Every gift or pledge made during March4MHC will be worth an ADDITIONAL $65, up to a total match of $8,025!

And there’s more. If reach our March4MHC goal of at least 120 gifts from our class and top last year’s record of 114 gifts, we’ll be eligible for another $10,000 or more in challenge funds made available by a group of anonymous donors. Everything we raise, including all challenge funds, will count toward our class’s Fiftieth Reunion gift.

So, consider “leaping” into March with a gift to March4MHC. You make a gift today or you can wait until the absolute last minute at 11:59 pm PST, Friday March 8. Whenever you make that gift, you can do it through https://mtholyoke.edu/go/march4mhc.

We’re always stronger together so please encourage your friends. Every gift will be worth that much more.

Thank you for everything you do for Mount Holyoke, 

Co-Head Class Agents

Meredith Jacob and Avice Meehan
