Giving Societies

Become a member of the Parenzo Loyalty Society and 1839 Society!

Westfield State's annual giving societies celebrate the remarkable difference our generous donors make across the university. Those donors who generously support the Westfield State Foundation each and every year earn special recognition in thanks for instilling a culture of philanthropy that allows us to fulfill our mission to an even greater level.

Parenzo Loyalty Society

Members of the Parenzo Loyalty Society—our dedicated alumni, families, and friends—show their Owl pride by supporting Westfield State University each and every year.

Parenzo Loyalty Society members are recognized after three consecutive years of giving to the Westfield State Foundation Inc.—in any amount to any fund—advancing the mission of Westfield State.
