PLEDGE FOR CHEV IN OUR 75TH ANNIVERSARY  YEAR

Many thousands of Chevalier students have made that journey of dreaming and action described by Father Doneley over the course of our 75 years of history.   

The College is now inviting you to make a 75th birthday gift to recognise your own Chevalier journey. Many tell us they intend to give one day, or to renew a gift they have previously made. Now is the time to do that as we celebrate 75 years - heading confidently towards a centenary in 2046 - so that you can make your mark as a contributor to our Chev community. 

With your gift, you can help the next Chevalier generation begin to achieve their dreams.    

Please consider making this year the time for that special gift, or the pledge of one in the future, as part of a regular giving plan, whether it be monthly, quarterly or annually. No matter how small that commitment might seem, when combined with the contributions of others it can make a world of difference – literally - to a current or future Chev student and their family.

How much to make as a regular gift?  You can choose monthly, quarterly or annual gifts.  To mark the year we suggest making those pledged amounts some combination of $19.46 or $20.21 or $7.50 or $75. Then again larger gift pledges could be $1,946 or $2,021 or $7,500 or even $75,000.
