Fundraising Dinner and Golf Challenge
September 20 & 21, 2026
Supporting the Presidential Leadership Fellows at Princeton Theological Seminary
You’re Invited to
The 2026 Annual Fundraising Dinner and Golf Challenge are grounded in the conviction that hospitality, faith formation, and principled leadership belong at the center of the Seminary’s public witness.
Funds raised through this two-day event support the Presidential Leadership Fellows, a cohort of exceptional students who learn firsthand leadership skills while serving as institutional ambassadors at the Seminary. These students receive enhanced hospitality and leadership training while gaining access to mentors whose wisdom complements what they receive in our classrooms.
Each sponsorship level provides funds for fellowships and targets professional development opportunities for these students. By participating in this weekend, you are helping to cultivate leaders who will serve the church and the world with integrity, competence, compassion, and joy.
Limited sponsorship opportunities available. Secure yours today!
