HEEF Education Endowment Challenge

The 2015 Hopi Education Endowment Fund Alumni Challenge is a two-week fundraising campaign and pits the alumni of the three in-state Arizona universities and a new group called the "Arizona Crushers" (other colleges/universities) in a competition to see which group can collectively raise the most funds.

Last year, the "Arizona Crushers" won the Alumni Challenge, unseating long time annual champion - Northern Arizona University. Everyone can give on behalf of their alma mater or on behalf of a family member. The Alumni Challenge started Oct. 12 and ends Oct. 23.

Participants can go to www.hopieducationfund.org to join the challenge.

Since 2004, through the collective effort of 105 alumni, more than $37,000 has been raised to support the education of students through the Hopi Education Endowment Fund. The 2015 goal is to raise $6,000, which would make it the most successful Alumni Challenge event. HEEF is a 7871 non-profit entity of the Hopi Tribe.
