2024 DCC Class Gift Dedications
The Dutchess Community College Foundation (DCCF) is pleased to offer graduating students, their families and friends, and DCC faculty and staff a special opportunity to support the Class of 2024 Gift and submit a tribute for inclusion in the DCCF 2024 Keepsake Journal.
What is a Class Gift and how much is it to participate?
Graduating students have the opportunity to show appreciation to their families, loved ones, fellow students and to DCC by submitting a class gift dedication. A donation of any size will make a difference in the life of another student, but a suggested amount commemorates your graduation year. Students who give a gift of $20.24 or more will receive a white philanthropy cord to wear with caps and gowns. The white cord shows your commitment to, and support of, Dutchess Community College. Graduates who make a gift will be mailed a philanthropy cord. Your tribute of up to 200 characters will be included in the 2024 Keepsake Journal that will be handed out to all graduates and commencement attendees and available to view on the sunydutchess.edu website. Please see samples below.
Can my parents and friends participate?
Faculty, staff, family and friends of DCC graduates have the opportunity to congratulate a member of the Class of 2024 and support the DCC Foundation. Write a tribute to your graduating student to be included in a special section of the Keepsake Journal.
Submit your tribute below, along with your minimum gift of $20.24, to secure your spot in the Keepsake Journal! All proceeds go toward the Fund for Dutchess and support scholarships and programs for future DCC students!
Can I create an ad for the Keepsake Journal?
You may create a full-page color ad (8" wide x 6" high) or a half page color ad (4" wide x 6" high). Pricing information is below. You may email artwork in .pdf or .jpg format to dccf@sunydutchess.edu. You also may mail artwork to DCC Foundation, 53 Pendell Rd., Poughkeepsie, NY 12601. If mailing, please do not fold artwork.
The deadline to submit tributes and artwork for ads is April 19, 2024!
