Another thank you note to the Class


Dear Classmates,

Our Reunion was not only a huge success on the fun and friends front, it was also a huge success on the fundraising front. Our Class was remarkably generous in its support of Yale and the exciting things happening at the University. Reunion Gift Co-Chairs Susan Forst, Jason Reese, and Gavin Wellington, and their 19 member Gift Committee along with the Class Agents would like to thank everyone who has participated in the reunion gift effort.

Some of our classmates were so enthusiastic about what they saw and experienced during Reunion that they have decided to add to their already generous gifts to Yale. One creative classmate added $8,725 to the gift -- a thoughtful and touching gesture.

For those of you who have asked about whether there is still time to contribute to our Class Gift, the answer is simple: there is still time! And, we are very close to hitting our Class Alumni Fund goal by June 30th. We only need $33,000 more in unrestricted dollars -- and the University would really benefit from the continued generosity of the Class of 1987. If you have not participated in our gift effort yet, they ask that you please consider making a gift to the Alumni Fund to help us achieve this goal! Please reach out to Kerry Smith [kerry.smith@yale.edu], our Yale staff liaison, if you would like to make a gift or go to the following link: www.yale.edu/giveYC.

Thankfully,

Susan Forst, Jason Reese, and Gavin Wellington
