Subject: Join me in supporting Kenyon
Dear <Name> or Classmate,
I hope this email finds you well.
As a class agent for Kenyon, I’ve chosen to volunteer my time to help keep classmates connected to the College. This year, I’m reaching out to as many classmates as I can to discuss supporting today’s Kenyon students by making a gift to the Kenyon Fund in honor of our class.
Your support of the Kenyon Fund makes a real difference because it touches every aspect of student life on and off campus. And, you can choose to give to the area that means the most to you. When we join forces with our classmates — each giving what we can — our collective investment inspires tomorrow’s leaders!
I’d like to connect with you to share my experience and reasons for supporting Kenyon, and to see if we can count on you to make a contribution to our class gift this year. I’ll give you a call next week to find a time convenient for you to discuss this further. Is <PHONE> a good number to reach you?
In the meantime, please feel free to make your gift today. Visit gift.kenyon.edu to give through Kenyon’s secure online giving form or mail a check payable to the Kenyon Fund to: Kenyon College Advancement, 105 Chase Avenue Gambier, OH 43022-9623.
Thank you for your thoughtful consideration of this request to join me in making a gift to the Kenyon Fund this year! I look forward to connecting with you soon.
Sincerely,
<VolunteerName>
