Our Class owes a sincere thank you to all of the 82 classmates who worked to make our fundraising campaign for the Dartmouth College Fund successful.

This year’s Dartmouth College Fund drive closes on June 30, 2008.  As of today, here are our results:

            Check #1-Dartmouth College Fund-$3,585,858.58 (June 7, 2008)

This compares favorably with 1952’s 50th Reunion Record of $2,522,533

The RGC adjusted our goal to account for inflation in comparison to 1952’s record:

            Our new goal - $3,058,000

Our current results $3,585,858.58 

            1952’s record adjusted to 2008 dollars $3,023,017

            We are $562,841.58 above the 1952 record in inflation adjusted dollars

Last year we raised $406,431 for the DCF; this year’s giving is 8.82  times last years. Our class has certainly stretched for Dartmouth.

Participation- 82.6%.  395 Classmates.  45 additional classmates required to achieve 92%.

           

            Check #2-Captures Check #1 and all gifts and pledges made by the individual to

            Dartmouth since the Campaign for the Dartmouth Experience kicked off on July

            1, 2002- $37,246,572.

            The Class of 1958 has raised $15,199,238 for the Dartmouth College Fund

            since 1958 and has donated $53,658,234 in total to all areas of Dartmouth

            since 1958.

Thank you to all of our Dartmouth Classmates who have been generous for the College so that today’s students can benefit from the Dartmouth Experience as we have.
