Journey 48-Hour Challenge

Kick off the year with twice the impact.

The Central community is the BEST! Our alumni, parents and friends rise to the challenge year after year to help our students succeed.

This year, thanks to that amazing foundation of generosity, Central is proud to award more than $1.6 million in direct, donor-funded aid through the Journey Scholarship Fund.

We couldn't offer this crucial support without our Central family working together.

Help us kick off the new academic year in a BIG way through the Journey 48-Hour Challenge. All gifts to the Journey Scholarship Fund will be matched up to $50,000!

Even if you made a gift recently, this is your chance to double your impact.

No matter the amount — $25, $100 or $1,000 — your gift directly supports students, so join us Aug. 23-25, and help make a difference. 

Also, keep a lookout for emailed updates beginning on Aug. 23 and a special challenge from abroad as Central grads Mike ’89 and Amy Dietrich Eilers ’88 journey on El Camino de Santiago.

Thank you to our generous challengers for their incredible support:

Dave ’86 and Kristi Jaarsma Balk ’88; Kristin and John Cross ’89; Steve De Cook ’65; Mike ’89 and Amy Dietrich Eilers ’88; Barb and Tom Gaard ’61; Jim and Deb Israel; Mike Main ’87; Stephen Mc Williams ’96; Jeff Oliver ’79; Deanna Ver Steeg ’94 and Joseph Timmins; Lance and Judi Clauson Vogel ’82; and Kris Cox Ward ’85.
