Witness The Power of Generosity
Seniors, be sure to stop by the Annual Giving table during Week of Welcome to snap a photo in our Instagram Frame and learn how your class gift makes an impact at The Beach!
The Senior Class Gift is a meaningful way for graduating seniors to make a difference in the areas of campus that impacted them the most during their time at The Beach. Gifts strengthen our programs, help create internship and research opportunities, and even support initiatives such as (but not limited to) the Beach Pantry, mental health resources, unforeseen travel expenses to conferences and more.
