A New Vision for February Frenzy

The 2020 February Frenzy campaign is now underway, and you can visit this link to make your gift in support our young men. But you may want to keep reading to see how this year's effort is a new spin on an old favorite.

This year, as our vision for SLUH’s third century continues to take shape, we’re reimagining the impact this alumni group can have, and have directed the focus to a well-celebrated part of SLUH: supporting Cashbah.

With a $1 million goal and the theme "20/20 Vision," Cashbah remains the single most significant effort of the SLUH community to support the $6+ million financial aid program at SLUH. Your gift allows SLUH to continue to ensure that all qualified young men are able to attend regardless of their families’ economic circumstances.

If you visited the giving site already, you'll see we’ve also tapped into the slick donation interface that Cashbah provides. Now you can not only make a gift directly to your class effort but also see, at a glance, how the other classes are doing too, all in real-time.

We’ve reimagined how the competition works, too. 

• The donation period is from the kickoff email on Tuesday morning until 11:59 p.m. CST Thursday night.
• All contributions will be directed to Cashbah.
• All classes will be recognized on a digital ad displayed the night of Cashbah.
• The class that has the most number of unique donors over this period of time will win and be awarded a table at Cashbah, to be filled by the largest single donor of the class to February Frenzy.

Classes will also be divided into three groups, and one table per group will be available to be won by reaching a specific funding level:

• Group 1, comprised of 1990-1997, qualify at $10,000 raised.
• Group 2, comprised of 1998-2005, qualify at $7,500 raised.
• Group 3, comprised of 2006-2013, qualify at $5,000 raised.

If multiple classes exceed the total to qualify, then the class with more raised wins the table. 

This multi-tiered competition keeps a focus on growing the number of donors - which has been the goal of February Frenzy all along - but also rewards those that may be inspired to make a leadership-level gift.

Can you give a $10, $50, or $100  gift?  Can you make a larger gift of $500, $1,000, $5,000 or even more?

This is our opportunity to ensure Cashbah is a huge success to the benefit of today’s Jr. Bills. I’m blessed each day to see our exceptional students in action. My gift is in support of these young and the great things they achieve, both today and into the future.
