Chicago is making a difference
In just one month, our Chicago-based fundraising effort has generated nearly $175,000 for SU and specialized Chicago programs. We’re off to a great start!
Alum Jason Jedlinski ’99 is making his mark by supporting the newly established Chicago Orange Fund. And thanks to the Edelstein Challenge, the amount of Jedlinski’s gift—and all gifts to the fund—will be doubled!
So make your gift, and learn about all of SU’s exciting Chicago happenings at chicago.syr.edu.
Go Orange!
