About


The 9th Annual

Parents & Family Challenge!

Step into the school year and support our Stag students through the 9th Annual Parents & Family Challenge! Every year, University parents, guardians, and families come together during the Parent & Family Challenge to support the student experience, from student life and academic programs to financial aid and more.

Your gifts go to work immediately to create opportunities for students and enhance their Fairfield educational experience. When 500 parents and family members make a gift to Fairfield University - of any size - it will unlock $150,000 to meet needs across campus, sponsored by the Parents Leadership Council.

Who Will Win?

Step up to the challenge with other parents in your student's class year and compete with parents from other class years. Parent donors in the class year with the highest number of donors will win an exclusive Fairfield Parent keychain! (limit one per household).
