Journey 48-Hour Challenge

Thank you for donating to the Journey 48-Hour Challenge. Did you miss it?

Make a gift using our giving form!


Kick off the year with twice the impact. All gifts to the Journey Scholarship Fund will be matched up to $90,000!


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


Thanks to our amazing foundation of generosity, Central is proud to have raised more than $3 million in direct, donor-funded aid through scholarships awarded to students in the 2024-25 academic year. 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. 


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 from noon to noon Aug. 27-29, and help make a difference. 


Thank you to our generous challengers for their incredible support!
