The Mighty Buff ’n Blue Alumni Challenge

Our alumni community has always been the heartbeat of Punahou. Today, we’re on a quest to reach 2,000 donors, and we’re doing it one milestone at a time. Each time 500 alumni give, a new wave of funding is released – culminating in a massive $80,000 impact. This challenge is purely about participation; gifts of any amount to the Punahou Fund count toward our goal. Are you in?

This isn’t about the size of the gift; it’s about the strength of the squad. Once your class hits that 25-donor milestone, $2,000 is instantly added to the Giving Day total.
