The 4K Challenge
—We Did It!
Thanks to the generosity
and collective effort of
alumni, trustees, parents,
colleagues and friends,
we have succeeded in

earning an additional
$200,000 for the Colby-
Sawyer Fund. Ultimately,
the college received
support from 4,329
donors, 3,021 of whom
were alumni, resulting
in a one-year increase in

A new center for the arts is the college’s highest master plan priority.
The college will begin construction when 75 percent of the construction
costs ($16 million) has been funded by private gifts and grants. More
than $5.2 million is currently committed. The college is very grateful for
this support, and looks forward to continuing the momentum this year.
