The Illinois Club at the University of Illinois Celebrated 100 years
Decades of Giving Campaign
An opportunity to increase our Scholarship Endowment
Donors chose their favorite Decade to commemorate 100 years of The Illinois Club.
1906 – $ 50
1926 – $ 100
1946 – $ 150
1966 – $ 250
1986 – $ 500
2006 – $1000
We set a goal of raising $25,000 for our endowment fund and we succeeded by raising in excess of $26,000! All participants were acknowledged at various times in the newsletter and at events throughout our centennial year. Participants at the 2006 level were honored at a special reception at the President’s House in December of 2006.
It’s not too late for you to also consider donating to our Scholarship Fund. Please send Decades checks payable to UIF The Illinois Club (or ask about payroll deduction or stock transfer) with your contact information.
