The 1998-99 Living Endowment now stands at $371,466.00 from 1,917 gifts and pledges. Both of these numbers represent significant increases over this time last year and we express grateful appreciation to all of you who have made a gift or pledge so far.

Alumni support is one of the most important factors in ErskineÕs ability to receive funds from corporations, foundations, and other granting agencies. That means that regardless of the amount, your gift goes a long way as a show of support for Erskine. Also every gift of $25.00 or more counts toward winning the Pacesetter Award for the highest percentage of alumni support.

If you can make a pledge of any amount to the 1998-99 Living Endowment or if you would like more information, please send an e-mail to knight@erskine.edu and include your name, class year (if you are an alumnus/a), mailing address, and the amount of your pledge. The alumni office will send you some information and a return envelope to send in your pledge payment. Gifts received before July 1, 1999 will be counted in the 1998-99 Campaign.

Thank you.

We thank you for your continued interest in Erskine.
