Thank you to everyone who showed up in a big way during the WCIL Gives Class Circles Challenge! Because of your generosity, we raised over $11,000 in just four days—and the competition isn’t over yet.
Your class still has time to climb the leaderboard and grow your Class Circle of Investment
The Class Circles Challenge continues year-round as classes work to raise $10,000+ to create a permanent endowment in their class's name. These funds will support QPS students every year, forever.
What Is the Class Circles Challenge?
The Class Circles Challenge is a friendly fundraising competition where Quincy High School alumni come together by graduating class to leave a lasting legacy.
Each class is working to raise funds to establish a Class Circle of Investment—a permanent endowed fund that will support Quincy Public Schools every single year, forever. Once a class reaches its goal, their Circle starts giving back immediately through annual distributions that fund student programs, classroom needs, and more.
It’s alumni pride with a purpose—supporting today’s students and tomorrow’s leaders!

All donations are endowed, meaning Class Circles will provide support for QPS students in perpetuity.
