Join the Pioneers Centennial Society

There are many opportunities for members to get involved in Pioneers' Centennial year celebration.  One such opportunity is the Centennial Society. 

The Centennial Society recognizes those members who elect to commemorate this momentous anniversary by making a charitable contribution of $100 or greater.  In 1958, Pioneers President William V. Kahler said “There have been changes, of course, for without change, there would have been no progress.”  This ushered in a new period for Pioneers in which community service came to officially define our mission.  Years later, in 2002 Pioneers changed its status to a public charity enabling and encouraging both members and non-members who believe in our mission to support our work with charitable gifts.

And now, thanks to the commitment of our membership, we are officially celebrating 100 years of making a difference - a remarkable accomplishment you can recognize by joining the Centennial Society.  When you join the Centennial Society, your name will be added to our special Centennial donation wall, which will be online and at our Centennial Celebration in Boston.  All of the contributions you make as part of the Centennial Society will count towards the Centennial Rewards & Recognition Program.  Additionally, the first 500 Pioneers who join the Centennial Society by donating online will receive a copy of Edwin S. Grosvenor's coffee table book - Alexander Graham Bell:  The Life and Times of the Man Who Invented the Telephone (retail value $45) as a token of our appreciation.

The Centennial Society offers a wonderful opportunity to not only commemorate the Pioneers' 100th Anniversary but make your gift in honor or in memory of a family member, colleague, fellow member or special occasion.  Several payment options are available to ensure all have an opportunity to participate.  Become part of the Centennial Society by using your credit card online at the Pioneers' website or through electronic fund transfer (EFT) from a bank account by calling Pioneers Headquarters at 1-800-976-1914.

We sincerely thank those who elect to make Pioneers their charity of choice and thank all of our membership and supporters for being part of the changes and progress that have brought us to this momentous occasion.
