Outreach for MiddWinter Challenge
The MiddWinter Challenge runs February 6-13, 2025 and our goal is to bring in 2,500 donors. If we reach that goal by Thursday, February 13 (11:59 p.m. Eastern), Ted ‘83 and Kathy O’Connor Truscott ‘83 will make an additional $100,000 gift to Middlebury.
Below are some specific steps you can take to help spread the word and encourage your classmates to join in supporting Middlebury this winter.

1. Visit the volunteer portal on GiveCampus to email your assignments.
2. Request an list of classmates who usually give during the challenge and use our MiddWinter Challenge outreach templates on GiveCampus to email or text them.
