🦃 !!! Important Match Information !!! 🦃
Janet Hurwitz is generously offering a "Giving Thanks for PGSS" match.
She will donate $50 for every parent donation of $150 or (hopefully) more OR $100 for every donation above $1000 through Friday, November 21.

While our long-term goal is to secure ongoing program funding through the Commonwealth’s annual budget, PGSS Campaign has proudly sustained Program funding through the commitment of its community, enrolling up to 72 students each year for more than a decade.

To continue offering this life-changing experience to students this summer, we rely on the enduring generosity of our "Govie" community to help fund at least half of the Program’s annual operating costs. This year, we’re aiming to raise $300,000 through the Alumni Challenge—enough to send 72 talented students to the 2026 Program. Every gift helps open doors for the next generation of Govies to explore, learn, and lead.

For Parents of Govies (POGs)
Who May be Donating on Behalf of Their Student
Govies from the PGSS Classes of 2020-2025 are encouraged to take part in this year’s Annual Alumni Challenge by making a symbolic $5 contribution toward their individual class goal of $300. Because the donations are processed online, some parents may complete the gift on their student’s behalf.

Our focus for young alumni is participation, not dollar amount – we want every student to feel included and proud to contribute. To help keep things fair and accessible for all families, we ask that gifts on the student Class Pages not exceed $25 per student.

If your family would like to give additional support to the PGSS Class of 2026, we’ll gratefully apply up to $25 to your student’s page and direct the remaining amount to this Parent of Govies (POGs) page, which supports the overall Annual Alumni Challenge total.

This approach helps ensure that every student class can reach its goal together – while still allowing POGs to make a meaningful impact across the full campaign. Thank you for helping to model the spirit of collaboration, community and generosity that defines PGSS!
