We couldn't have done it without the help from the GIV community who contributed their time, talent, and resources to make this event possible.

A special thank you to:

The many auction donors

The team at Vermont State University Castleton

🥳 The campaign isn't over yet! 🥳

Our 40th Anniversary Celebration has raised over $64,000 to support the future of GIV including student scholarships for years to come! But the celebrations aren't over yet...

Our goal is to raise $100,000 by the end of the year, so there's still time to pitch in.
