The 2026 Seniors for the Tulane Fund had a record-breaking year. The senior student organization showed immense dedication to building relationships with seniors, educating them about the importance of giving, and inspiring a lifelong habit of philanthropy.

The Class of 2026 became the first group in the organization’s history to reach the 500-donor campaign goal — ultimately surpassing it with an impressive total of 749 donors. We are incredibly grateful to the chairs and committee for their hard work and dedication in achieving this milestone. Each of these students represents a first-time donor, an important indicator of their potential to become lifelong supporters as their relationship with Tulane continues to grow.

To celebrate, all senior donors were invited to the Seniors for the Tulane Fund VIP Tent at Crawfest. Guests enjoyed a shaded lounge area, seating, beverages, and access to a private crawfish line. The event provided a fun and memorable space for seniors to spend time with friends and kick off the excitement of graduation events.
