March Challenge

Every dollar raised through March Challenge goes to support transformative programming at NCSSM. Each year, we need to raise $1.5 million in unrestricted support to operate the school, and during March Challenge 2023, we raised over $150,000. Here are some highlights from the 2023 competition:

• By a margin of just 0.2 percentage points, the Class of 1986 squeezed out a victory this year.
• We loved seeing you come together for a common goal: to support NCSSM and the opportunities it provides students across the state of North Carolina. NCSSM is the real winner, THANKS TO YOU! 
• A special thanks to the dedicated supporters who fundraised on behalf of NCSSM.
• The 2020s decade nearly hit its goal of $2,000! Congrats to our newest graduates; this has never been accomplished.
• The classes of 1988, 1993, and 2021 had their highest participation rates in competition history.
• We saw wide-ranging participation, with donors in all classes raising over $150,000. Incredible!
