At the beginning of the month we launched the Claremont Society Giving Challenge. We were seeking 20 NEW or UPGRADED Claremont Society level gifts by April 30, 2015. If we met this challenge the school will receive an additional $10,000 gift. Our community responded positively and the momentum allowed us to exceed our goal! A special thanks to Kathy and John Norsworthy for providing the $10,000 challenge gift.
