The Loyalty Challenge is an annual competition between George School and Westtown School sponsored by Paul Machemer, GS ’65 and his wife Pam Rea Machemer, Westtown ’64 to see which school’s young alumni are the most loyal.

The school earning the highest participation rate among young alumni donors is awarded the Machemer Cup. In this contest, dollar amounts really don’t matter—it’s whether or not you play. Even $10 can help George School defeat Westtown. See below for results of the 2011-12 contest.

The past twenty graduating classes, plus current seniors, compete head-to-head for Loyalty Points. Points are awarded to the school with the greater percentage of donors to the Annual Fund for each class, for a total of twenty-one Loyalty Points possible. The winner is determined at the end of each fiscal year.

So let’s go Cougars! Beat Westtown by making your 2012-13 Annual Fund gift today!
