Join the Office of Parent Engagement & Philanthropy for this year’s 5th annual Parent Leadership Challenge from Tuesday, Oct. 11 to Tuesday, Oct. 25. During this two-week challenge, when 555 parents make a gift of any size to support an initiative important to them, a $100,000 Challenge Gift, sponsored by the Parents Leadership Council, will be unlocked to support academic programs, student life experiences, career development and networking opportunities, spiritual and service activities, and athletics. As a bonus to the parent class with the most gifts, their students’ class will win a free food truck event.

Support from Fairfield parents empowers and advances Fairfield University’s mission to develop men and women for others through the Jesuit education and experience, all rooted in our value of cura personalis — caring for the whole person. This is an opportunity for the parent community to come together to make a tremendous difference in the lives of our Fairfield students!

During the 2021 Parent Leadership Challenge, more than 500 Fairfield parents participated to unlock a $100,000 gift to support students’ and the University’s most urgent needs. These results are a direct reflection of the Fairfield parent community’s belief in our University’s values and what they help students accomplish for themselves, others, and the world.

The generosity of the Fairfield parent community is an integral part of creating the best educational experience for current and future Stags. Come together with fellow parents to make a difference in the Fairfield community through the Parent Leadership Challenge.
