$200,000 Parent Challenge Grant:
Incredible Opportunity for Parents to Support Blair

To build upon the forward momentum generated by the recently completed Ever Always Campaign, a group of Blair parents has established a $200,000 Challenge Grant for the 2009-2010 school year. The premise is simple: for every new or increased gift made by a parent before June 30, 2010, the Challenge Grant will make an additional contribution to Blair, up to a total of $200,000.

Here’s how it works:

• New gifts will be matched—dollar for dollar—up to $2,000. If you are a new parent or were unable to give to Blair last year, here’s your chance to double your gift! For example, if your new gift to the School is $1,000, the Challenge Grant will give an additional $1,000 to Blair. If you give $50, the Challenge Grant will give an additional $50 to Blair.
   
• Increased gifts of any size will generate an additional $500 for Blair. For example, if you gave $1,500 last year and you increase your gift to $2,000, the Challenge Grant will give an additional $500 to Blair. If you gave $100 last year and increase your gift to $200, the Challenge Grant will give an additional $500 to Blair.
   
• $10,000 will be given for a first-time gift of $10,000 or more. For example, if you give your first gift of $10,000 or more, the Challenge Grant will give an additional $10,000 to Blair.

Participating in the Challenge Grant is an easy way to increase your support for the School.
We hope that you take advantage of this incredible opportunity to provide a greater Blair experience for all our students by making a pledge or gift before June 30,2 2010.
Better yet, make your gift TODAY!
