I heard about my class gift. How can I contribute?

Thank you for considering a gift. Reunion class gifts are wonderful ways to continue the legacy of your class, and support Tulane School of Medicine’s current students while also increasing the value of your Tulane degree. 

Gifts given to any fund within the School of Medicine by June 30, 2025, will count toward your reunion class gift and will be acknowledged in the post-reunion report sent to your class. 

Many choose to give at the 1834 Society level (an annual gift of $2,500 or more) to honor their 50th reunion. 

Reunion pledges are a common way to increase the impact of your gift during your reunion year. For example, if you pledge $10,000 to the School of Medicine, to be paid at $2,500 per year over 4 years, the full $10,000 will count toward your reunion class gift, and you will remain an 1834 Society membership for the next 4 years. 

You can make your tax-deductible gift online through the reunion registration form, by visiting giving.tulane.edu/somreunions, or by contacting Cynthia Hayes, Senior Director of Alumni Relations & Development, at chayes@tulane.edu or (504) 988-6248.

How can I volunteer/join my class reunion committee?
