2025 Packer Reunion Giving

Tuition does not cover the full cost of a Packer education. The Packer Fund helps make up this gap. In 2023-24, contributions totaling over $3.3 million support our financial aid program, faculty and staff compensation, academic programs, extracurriculars, and much more - everything that makes a Packer education life-changing for our future alumni.

When pooled together, each and every gift to Packer has an impact, no matter the size.

A gift of $20, $100, or $500 has a large impact as one gift of many. It is the generosity of all that contributes to our success. Alumni know firsthand the depth and breadth of Packer beyond 170 Joralemon Street; therefore, robust alumni participation inspires others to give and speaks powerfully to the quality of the Packer experience.

Packer’s financial aid program supports 24% of our students and is key to maintaining a socioeconomically, racially, and geographically diverse student body. We also recognize that there are additional costs, beyond tuition and fees, associated with the exceptional education that Packer provides. We are dedicated to assisting all qualifying families with those costs. Packer has already taken concrete steps to reduce the burden on families for additional expenses like textbooks, technology, breakfast, extracurricular activities, and travel—all essential elements of a Packer education. Launched this school year, Packer is committed to the Fund for Auxiliary/Financial Aid to continue to ensure finances are not a barrier to every student’s full Packer experience.

Every alumni gift received from January 6 through Reunion Weekend will be counted as a comprehensive gift supporting the Packer Fund and the Auxiliary Financial Aid Endowment unless otherwise specified by the donor. Reunion Giving helps support immediate needs and long-term priorities at our alma mater.

Should you have any questions about giving to Packer, please contact Ronnette Hope ‘07, Director of Alumni, or Andrea Kelly, Director of Development.

Yes! All Reunion Gifts are 2024-25 Packer Fund and count towards the class’s participation. This Annual Fund starts on July 1, 2024, and ends on June 30, 2024, so even if you gave before the Reunion, your gift helps your class win the coveted Alumni Champagne Cup.

The Alumni Champagne Cup is awarded based on all class participation as of April 25, 2025.
