Have Anya or Paige Called You Yet?

It's that time of year again! Anya, Paige, and their band of merry Ambassadors are getting ready to start our Fall phonathon in support of the Champlain Annual Fund. When you see a call coming from Champlain, please pick it up. It could be Anya, Paige, or another of their friendly and dedicated student Ambassadors.

Every year, gifts to the Annual Fund change lives in meaningful ways. Although the Annual Fund always plays a critical role in the amount of scholarship support Champlain offers each year, its reach does not end there. As a donor, you can empower a student to travel abroad for a semester. You can be part of the safety-net in case of student emergencies or sudden hardship. Whatever difference you want to make at Champlain, Anya and Paige’s team can help you do it!
Don’t have time to talk on the phone? Make your gift now online, and we won’t call. You can also go to our website to learn about scholarships and other ways we use the Annual Fund to make a meaningful difference in the lives of our students.
