The Challenge Rules
What Counts Towards Participation
Who is Eligible?
Any law firm, corporation or organization with five or more UC Hastings graduates is eligible to participate in the Law Firm Challenge if they have at least one person willing to serve as a Challenge Representative. The representative engages fellow alumni at the firm and encourages them to make a gift to the law school. Each law firm’s goal is to achieve 100% participation.

What Counts Toward Participation
Any gift or pledge made to UC Hastings by a graduate from July 1 to June 30 counts toward this year's Challenge. This includes payment on a pledge, a gift to your law school class reunion, or any other gift made to UC Hastings’ Annual Fund.
Tracking Your Firm’s Progress
Throughout the Challenge, we will send you periodic updates on how your firm or organization is doing. You can also track your progress online by visiting our web site (www.uchastings.edu/lfc).
Winning the Challenge
Firms and organizations win when they reach 100% participation, meaning every graduate has made a gift or pledge of any amount this fiscal year.

- Signage prominently displayed in common student areas at UC Hastings, inside the Career & Professional Development Office, and during on-campus interviews in the fall
