Class of 1980 Reunion Campaign – Support The Wake Forest Fund
As we reconnect, let’s also invest in the future of Wake Forest. Our class is working hard on our reunion-year gift to The Wake Forest Fund, directly benefiting today’s students. Your gift, made anytime between July 1, 2024 and Homecoming, will make a real difference. Be a part of our lasting legacy.
We’re counting down the days until we can welcome you home for a truly memorable 45th reunion!
Go Deacs!
