Our Crowdfunding Groups
Thank you for your interest in the Oxford Classes of 1970, 1971, and 1972 Class Gift Momentum project. This campaign has ended, but if you are a member of those classes from Oxford, and would still like to support your class gift, please contact Tammy Camfield at tcamfie@emory.edu.
Class Gifts have been a tradition at Oxford since the early 1900s. Initially classes donated a tree in honor of their graduation, then classes started giving other types of physical gifts to Oxford as far back as the 1960s. Since the 1990s, the Oxford Class Gift Committee (OCGC) has assisted Oxford College’s Office of Advancement and Alumni Engagement in its efforts to establish a culture of giving among the students at Oxford and leave a legacy for their class. OCGC student members work together to raise funds and each year select which area of Oxford will receive the proceeds. The Oxford Class of 2021 raised $25,000 (doubled thanks to a match from Dean Hicks) to endow an internship for students to raise awareness about the intersection of social justice and mental health. If students can raise that amount, then the 50th reunion classes can too…
To celebrate the Oxford Classes of 1970, 1971 and 1972, we are aiming to raise $50,000 in honor of our 50th reunion.
To give our classes a head start, Kathy and Warren Brook 70Ox 72B have generously contributed $25,000 to create the 50th Reunion Class Gift Challenge. Every dollar donated to the Brook International Travel Endowment (BITE), Marshall R. Elizer Book Fund, the Bond Fleming Scholarship Fund, the Judy Greer Scholarship, the Homer and Ruby Rae Davis Sharp Book Fund, or the Hoyt Oliver Scholarship (Gifts Pending - Oxford Endowed Scholarships), will unlock a dollar to the Brook International Travel Endowment (BITE). Qualifying donations must be from members of the Oxford Classes of 1969, 1970, 1971,1972, or 1973. Warren and Kathy will contribute a maximum of $25,000, so our goal for this campaign is to raise $25,000 to earn all challenge dollars.
Funds listed as giving options feature scholarships and book funds that are meaningful to our class. Scholarships support an undergraduate cost of attendance and provide merit-based and/or need-based scholarships to exceptional incoming first-year students and rising sophomores. Book Funds are used to purchase books, library technology, or other materials in a specified field. Selected funds for our reunion include:
