Make Your Mark, Babson’s Annual Giving Event, Set for October 9–10

Babson College’s biggest fundraising event of the year is even bigger this year. 

Make Your Mark this year will be held over two days, October 9–10. The ninth annual giving event invites the Babson community to come together to support the College, its students, and its impact. Gifts of any amount help power Babson’s continued excellence, and a variety of matching challenges provides additional opportunities to expand the impact of each donation. 

One of the challenges is from the Babson Alumni Advisory Board, which will award two student scholarships ($5,000 each for an undergraduate and graduate student). This challenge will be activated after 750 alumni donors have contributed by 5:30 p.m. Thursday, October 10. Winners will be selected that day at the Make Your Mark student celebration at Kerry Murphy Healey Park, which begins at 4:30. Recipients will be chosen based on an assessment of their response to a prompt submitted in writing in person between 4:30 and 5:15, and recipients must be in attendance at the celebration.

Make Your Mark arrives as the Babson community is energized by the latest accolades for the College. Babson was ranked the No. 2 Best College in the United States by The Wall Street Journal, moving up from No. 10 a year ago into the upper echelon of higher education institutions. And, Babson was named the No. 1 undergraduate school for entrepreneurship for the 28th consecutive time by U.S. News & World Report. 

A popular Babson tradition, Mark Your Mark last year raised $363,075 from supporters representing 40 states and 38 countries, an inspiring reminder of the strength of Babson pride around the world. 

“Make Your Mark is a celebration of the entire Babson community,” said Edward Chiu, the Governor Craig R. Benson Endowed Senior Vice President for Advancement at Babson. “Every year, our alumni, students, faculty, staff, and friends come together and prove the power of our collective impact.”
