Grade 10 students discuss fundraising for The Class of 2022 Fund. (March 2020)

HOW WE'RE HELPING TO FUNDRAISE FOR STUDENT BURSARIES

By Lucy, Grade 10

On March 11, 2020, Grade 10 students held our very first Class of 2022 fund meeting. We are dedicated to both raising money for the fund as well as raising awareness for all class funds. Every class that graduates from Balmoral Hall has a class fund. When we graduate, a sum of money is invested forever and the interest is used every year to give bursaries to those who need them. The first class fund was The Class of 2018 Fund, which raised more than $50,000 by the time they graduated, and The Class of 2019 Fund was similarly successful.

Earlier in the month, Joanne and I decided that we wanted to be involved with developing our class fund. We approached Ms Cloutier '03 in the Philanthropy and Alumnae Relations office to learn more about how we can help. We discovered that The Class of 2022 Fund already has $3,225 invested from donors! After a couple meetings with Ms Cloutier and Lauren Burns '20, who is a peer leader for The Class of 2020 Fund, we decided to involve our classmates to share the ideas we had for our class fund.

Many great ideas were shared during that successful first meeting and we are eager to start our first fundraiser in support of The Class of 2022 Fund soon!
