The Annual Fund

 

Reunions are a time for celebration at Northwestern. They provide an opportunity to remember the Northwestern experience, reconnect with the Northwestern community, and reunite with old friends. As part of reunion celebrations, 10 classes raise significant gifts that support scholarships, Northwestern’s libraries, galleries, concert halls, and sports venues, and the priorities of each of the schools.

Reunion Gift Campaign
The 2006 Reunion Gift Campaign kicked off on September 1, 2005. For members of the Class of 1956, the campaign ends on August 31, 2006.  For all other classes, the campaign runs through October 31, 2006. Any gifts or pledges made during this time count towards the reunion gift effort. The highest priority during a reunion campaign is to increase giving to the Annual Fund which provides unrestricted dollars for scholarships, academic programs, and operations. However, all gifts made during your reunion campaign, such as those made to professorships, scholarships, planned gifts, and gifts to athletics count toward your class goal. For questions about reunion gifts, please contact your class giving officer.

Class Reunion Committees
Success of reunion gift campaigns would not be possible without the work and dedication of the reunion committees. Thank you to all of our 2006 committee members. Reunion volunteers encourage classmates to participate in reunions by making a gift and attending reunion weekend events.
