Beginning at the five-year mark, donors are recognized for their consecutive giving with a tartan-patterned lapel pin, with additional recognition offered at 10, 15 and 20 years. Upon reaching the 25th year, these loyal donors receive their tartan sash and are officially inducted into the Order of the Tartan at the annual ceremony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Citadel Foundation proudly welcomes the new Leaders in Philanthropy listed here who have joined their peers in this annual tradition celebrating charity and service as virtues of the principled leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On behalf of the South Carolina Corps of Cadets and the entire campus community, we salute these individuals for their extraordinary generosity, vision and lifelong loyalty to The Citadel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-class-of-2025-new-inductees\">Class of 2025 New Inductees<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u2206 = Increased Giving Level<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-lifetime-giving-societies\">Lifetime Giving Societies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-founders-society-bronze\">Founders&#8217; Society &#8211; Bronze<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>$5,000,000 to $9,999,999<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Just as the founders of The Citadel conceived of an institution that would \u201cawaken greater ardor in the people, and a warmer interest in our rulers, to advance the cause of education,\u201d members of the Founders\u2019 Society demonstrate the vision and commitment that will ensure the long-term vitality of the college.
