Reunion Giving 2009

In fiscal year 2009, gifts made to the Pacific Fund by alumni who graduated in reunion years ending in 4 or 9 count toward the reunion year class gift effort. With respect to the Pacific Fund, the ten reunion classes compete to see which class can achieve the highest participation in giving, the highest dollar amount of total gifts and the highest number of multi-year pledges. This competitive spirit and mutual encouragement united Pacificans of all generations to provide funds for undergraduate students, graduate students, and faculty.

The reunion class gifts were presented to President DeRosa during Pacific Alumni Weekend on Saturday, June 27, 2009. The presentation of gifts provided a wonderful opportunity to recognize those classes that collaboratively excelled thereby stregthening our programs while providing funds for students and faculty (see chart below).
