Quincy Public Schools Foundation

What Is the Class Circles Challenge?

The Class Circles Challenge is a friendly fundraising competition where Quincy High School alumni come together by graduating class to leave a lasting legacy.

Each class is working to raise funds to establish a Class Circle of Investment—a permanent endowed fund that will support Quincy Public Schools every single year, forever. Once a class reaches its goal, their Circle starts giving back immediately through annual distributions that fund student programs, classroom needs, and more.

It’s alumni pride with a purpose—supporting today’s students and tomorrow’s leaders.

What Is WCIL Gives—and Why It Matters to QPSF

Help QPSF Win Bonus Prizes!

WCIL Gives is a four-day online giving event hosted by the Tracy Family Foundation, happening June 9–12. It brings together nonprofits, schools, and churches across West Central Illinois to raise awareness and funding for their missions.

The QPS Foundation is proud to participate—and when you donate to your Class Circle during WCIL Gives, you’re not only supporting Quincy students, you’re helping us compete for a share of $25,000 in bonus prizes awarded to top-performing organization. 

A Quick Note About the WCIL Gives Platform: For this campaign, we’re using a special peer-to-peer site through WCIL Gives—it’s different from the donation page on our usual QPSF website.

👉 To help us win regional WCIL prizes, donations must be made through the WCIL platform between June 9–12.
