Thank You, Concord – Class of 2026 Giving Campaign

The Class of 2026 Giving Campaign was created to provide the opportunity for upcoming graduates to give back to their soon-to-be alma mater. While Concord has served as a monumental time in our lives, creating an avenue for fellow classmates to give back establishes a commitment to philanthropy. As Concord has shaped who we are, the senior class gift is a thank-you for the opportunities we have been provided during our time at Concord. While Concord will remain a part of our lives beyond commencement, this is our unified effort to say ‘Thank You, Concord’.

We invite you to join us in giving a gift of $20.26, our class year, as we build class pride and ownership.

Elijah Ellis ’27
Spring Class of 2027
“Concord isn’t just a school, it’s a place where you get your start in life. Seeing this tradition begin and being able to help give back to the school that gave me so much feels rewarding. I am excited to be a part of  something bigger than myself, and I am looking forward to continuing this tradition with my class.” 

Emily Osborne ’26
Admissions Ambassador, Fall Class of 2026
“As a scholarship student, I know I wouldn’t be at Concord without financial support. Serving on this committee has reminded me that leadership isn’t just about what we accomplish, it’s about what we leave behind. Nearly all of us have benefited from financial aid, and this campaign is our opportunity to give back in a meaningful way. A small gift can create real opportunities for future students who are just like we once were.”

Zoey Shamblin ’26
Advancement Student Representative, Fall Class of 2026
“Concord has given us an education, a strong sense of community, and a foundation for our future. When you give, you help the next generation of students, future projects, and build a stronger Mountain Lion community.”

Abby Stovall ’26
Former SGA President, Spring Class of 2026
“I give to ensure that all Concord students are given the same opportunities to thrive that I was.”

Brian Strickler ’27
SGA President, Spring Class of 2027
“I give to the Class Gift Fund so that future students have the same opportunities Concord was able to give me.”
