CLASSES OF '76 AND '73 HAVE BIG WEEKS !
This past week it was the Class of 1976 that made a big push moving them into 2nd place with a total of 63 classmates recognized. And the Class of 1973 moved up to 3rd place. With just 2 weeks left it appears that places 2 through 5 are up for grabs, and we're going to find out which classes can make their final push.
As of the end of the 10th week (Dec. 13th) a total of $24,370 has been received in the names of 729 graduates. The leader board looks like this:
1964 - 195

The TOP FIVE CLASSES will have $2,000 scholarships given in their names to five members of the Class of 2026 at Junior Day on Friday, May 29, 2026. Attached is a complete list of donors by YOG. We have established a goal of $50,000 for this year's campaign so that we can continue to support projects and Alumni scholarships at Fairhaven High School. This past year we spent $35,400 restoring all 102 wooden desks in Room 7, and thanks to your generosity, we were able to award $34,000 in scholarships to a large number of college bound students from the Class of 2025.
Our beautiful Colorado Blue Spruce Tree on the west lawn of the high school will be lit in early November with one bulb for every $10 donation being represented by a light on the tree. PLEASE NOTE THAT DONATIONS HAVE TO BE A MINIMUM OF $10 PER PERSON TO COUNT TOWARDS THE TOTAL FOR EACH CLASS FOR THE "BATTLE OF THE CLASSES" COMPETITION.
Remember that the totals include donations made "in memory of" deceased classmates. We will update the tabulations on our website and our Facebook page on Saturday or Sunday weekly as the battle goes on until December 31st. Open the attachment at the bottom of this page to see the list of the current 2025 donors by YOG, and see how your class is doing.
