Our goal is to raise $45K for the 45th Reunion!

Reunions have always been a time to think about the history of the group, but also the future of the group. We laid the groundwork for the establishment of the endowment and the DAC at the 25th Reunion, and each reunion since has been a chance to think and plan for the future, especially financially.

This time will be no different: we have set the ambitious goal to raise $45K for the 45th Reunion. We’re happy to announce that we have already secured half of that amount ($22.5K) in pledged matching donations! The group of alums who have pledged these matching donations is once again led by Mahau Ma (#99), who has generously pledged another $10K for this reunion! Other alums who have pledged matching donations are:

• Pat Whelan (#1)

• Ryan Davies (#162)

• Eric Hughes (#133)

• Alex Rose (#124)

• Jay Wiley (#122)

• Aerlyn Dawn (#107)

• Patrick Moran (#239)

• Larry Finer (#65)

This means that if the balance of the alum community contributes $22.5K, we will hit our goal! We hope all alums will consider contributing to this fundraising effort. To make your donation, select your amount below and add it to your cart for checkout.

Based on our needs this year, the DAC is recommending that two-thirds ($30K) of the money raised go to the Endowment, with the final third ($15K) being added to the Tour Fund given the increasing costs of World Tour. However, if you’d like to earmark your funds for only one of those funds, you may do so. You can also make an extra donation to the Development Fund, which will directly support another Din’s attendance (such as the undergrads, who eat free, or any alum who requests financial assistance to attend.)

Also: we will be making an exciting announcement about the Endowment at the reunion!

More information about our funds and investing strategy can be found in the 2023 DINewsletter.

Note: The Din & Tonics Alumni Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) organization. You will receive a tax letter at year-end to verify your donation for tax purposes.
