The Old Main Cup

In honor of your reunion year, we invite you to join our reunion challenge for The Old Main Cup, consisting of three challenges to encourage friendly competition between classes.

The Beneficent Bowl will be awarded to the class with the highest participation percentage.

As the tradition goes, students rub the "i" on the plaque in Old Main for luck, thereby leaving their mark on Wofford. The class who receives the Beneficent Bowl will be recognized for leaving their mark on the college through the highest giving participation percentage.

The Papadopoulos Platter will be given to the class with the most dollars raised.

Dr. Gus Papadopoulos ’54 donated over $1 million to the college, saying "whatever I have, I owe to Wofford." The Papadopoulos Building now houses the Office of Philanthropy + Engagement, and this award honors Dr. Papadopoulos’ generosity. The Papadopoulos Platter will be presented to the class with the most dollars raised.

The Bellringer Bucket will be awarded to the class with the highest reunion attendance percentage.

The college bell, housed in the left tower of Main Building, tolls three times for every Wofford student: after the student’s first Opening Convocation, at Commencement for each graduate, and on All Saints’ Day for each passing. The Bellringer Bucket will go to the class recognized for the highest reunion attendance.

Winners of the Old Main Cup will receive their bucket, platter, or bowl and an $18,540 award to go towards their class's Endowed Scholarship Fund, along with a case of champagne to enjoy during the reunion party!
