Make a Gift: June Challenge

THE CHALLENGE: Secure 1,000 donors to Law Annual Giving in June, 2009
THE REWARD: A member of the Class of 1983 will give $100,000 and two members of the Class of 1974 will give $25,000 if we meet the challenge
THE FINAL RESULTS: 1,245 alumni, parents, faculty, staff, and friends made gifts as a part of the June Challenge. We raised a remarkable $960,922.47 towards Law Annual Giving, which support scholarships and financial aid packages for the students of Penn Law.

Why did the alumni come forward to give a challenge gift to your alma mater?
During the 2009 fiscal year, many donors had cut back their philanthropic support of Penn Law Annual Giving. Annual Giving gifts support the scholarships and financial aid packages for our students. As of May 27, 2009, Penn Law has raised $660,000 LESS than last year towards Law Annual Giving. The donors heeded the call for the Penn Law June Challenge.

What counted as a gift toward the challenge?
All gifts to Law Annual Giving made during June of 2009, regardless their size, count towards the June Challenge.

What is the progress of the 2009 June Challenge?
During June, 2009, we raised 1,245 donors and $960,922.47. Thank you for helping us to reach the June Challenge goal!
