URI Class of 1976 50th Reunion Giving Campaign

Fifty years ago, we walked the Quad, cheered in Keaney Gym, and built friendships that have lasted a lifetime. Now, as we prepare to celebrate our 50th Reunion, the Class of 1976 has the chance to come together once again — this time to give back to the University that gave us so much.

Our goal is ambitious but meaningful: over 200 classmates participating in honor of our milestone year. Every contribution — whether a one-time gift, a multi-year pledge, or a planned gift — helps strengthen URI for future generations. We’re very close to beating the highest number of reunion donors ever—the Class of 1973 had 203 people participate. We can do better than that!

A group of our classmates have established a challenge that will double gifts made before September 30 up to a total of $15,576 (notice our class year). Together, we’ll celebrate our achievements and present our class check to President Parlange during Reunion Weekend — a symbol of our shared memories and enduring connection to URI.

Let’s make this 50th Reunion more than a celebration. Let’s make it a legacy.

Make your gift today and help the Class of 1976 show what a lifetime of Rhody pride can do.
