Our Challenge Pool match percent has been calculated at 17.5% this year. Thank you to our generous board members and supporters who have provided the Challenge Pool funds: Jack Cullen, '73, Steven and Victoria Garfinkle, Sydney Hunsdale, Bryan Page, '03 Lane and Karen Richards, '82 & '89, Colette Taylor, '87 Jerry Thon, '75 and Truc Thon, '82 and generous donors to the Western Fund.
