Make Your Mark, Babson’s Annual Giving Event, Celebrates 10th Anniversary on October 15–16
Make Your Mark is marking a milestone this year.
Babson College’s biggest fundraising event of the year, Make Your Mark, is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. The annual giving event will be held October 15–16, bringing the Babson community together to support the College, its students, and its impact.
Over the past decade, Make Your Mark has shaped many lives through scholarships and other opportunities to open doors for students’ success. 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.
Make Your Mark: Please consider making a gift of any amount to support Babson.
One of the challenges is from the Babson Alumni Advisory Board, which will award four student scholarships ($5,000 each for two undergraduate and two graduate students). The challenge will be activated after 1,200 alumni donors have contributed by 6:30 p.m. Thursday, October 16. Winners will be selected that day at the Make Your Mark Student Celebration at Babson Commons, which begins at 5 p.m. Recipients will be chosen based on an assessment of their response to a prompt submitted in writing in person between 5 and 5:45 p.m., and recipients must be in attendance at the celebration.
A popular Babson tradition, Mark Your Mark last year raised $562,700 from a record-setting 2,581 supporters—far surpassing the goal of 1,919—representing 42 countries and 42 states and U.S. territories, an impressive show of the strength of Babson pride around the world.
“Make Your Mark is a wonderful reminder of the impact of the entire Babson community,” said Edward Chiu, the Governor Craig R. Benson Endowed Executive Vice President for Advancement at Babson. “Our alumni, students, faculty, staff, and friends come together every year to demonstrate their belief and support in the College and our leadership in developing the next generation of entrepreneurial leaders.”
