As we begin 2012, we want to bring something to your attention: We are closing in on the final phase of the $1 billion Campaign for Syracuse University. Boston has been essential to the campaign’s success, raising more than $20 million and having over 27% of our nearly 13,000 alumni participate.
Given Boston’s strategic place as a leader in the campaign, we ask that you join us in closing out the campaign. Our goal is to have Boston lead the way with a participation of 44%.
A strategic investment
As SU grows, so does its need for resources. It is because of our donors’ continued generosity and loyalty that our alma mater remains a leader in higher education. Now we need to join together as we make this final push toward $1 billion.
Giving is an endorsement of the incredible opportunities afforded to all of us while we were students, and a strategic investment in the next generation of SU students. Every gift helps us meet the needs of our students, whose tuition covers only about 85% of the actual cost of an SU education. Our experiences at SU would not have been what they were without the support of alumni who came before us. That same student experience can’t happen without your support.
Give to your passion
You can give to whatever part of SU means the most to you, whether it's your school or college, scholarships, SU Abroad, athletics, the Library, or Hendricks Chapel. Simply go to givetosu.syr.edu. If you would like more information about making a gift, please contact David Wishart, our director for regional advancement in New England, at 315.443.2766 or awishart@syr.edu.
You can make a difference
We thank everyone for their gifts to Syracuse, and hope that you will join us in making Boston the premier region for closing out this historic Campaign for Syracuse University.
Best wishes,
The Boston Regional Council
P.S. Join the effort and give now. We can't do it without you!
