The Kingston College Development Trust Fund has set a new target of J$50 Million for its Capital Fund by 2010. The current balance is approximately J$34 Million.
The fund is calling upon all KC old boys, friends and supporters of the college for help in achieving this important milestone.
The KCDTF was established in 1987 to "further the development of Kingston College in its goal to foster academic excellence, development of character and good citizenship" by "prudently managing a perpetual Capital Fund... the income from which shall be used for the benefit of Kingston College."
In addition to individual donations, special fundraising events can held to benefit the fund. Atlanta KCOB Whylie Chambers once held a birthday party and in lieu of presents his guests were asked to make a donation to the Trust Fund. You can read more about Whylie's efforts by clicking here.
