Higher Participation Through Class Gift?

DSCF1158Now, I will be honest and say that I write this without knowing what the typical participation is for the Senior Challenge, but here is a great idea.

Onward State, a blog about Penn State (Much bigger school, I know…but their blog is very similar to Writing on the Mall), published an article talking about the three things their class may give back to the school.

Wouldn’t it be great for the Senior Class to pick something to physically give back to the school?  Or maybe set up a scholarship fund for future classes?  I think that if the goal is higher participation in the drive, then something tangible will bring those numbers up.  It would give members of that graduating class something to come back to, or be something to be remembered by.

What are your thoughts?  Seniors – would you be more likely to donate if you saw what your donation was going to?
