Liza Lakes and her two sons at the 2005-2006 CEW Scholarship Awards.
In July 2001, CEW helped inaugurate the University’s “The Michigan Difference” campaign with an ambitious goal to raise $3.5 million dollars by December 2008. While modest compared to many colleges, schools and units on campus, this amount represents approximately 70% of the Center’s then-existing endowment and is thus proportionally similar to the goals of
other units.
The public phase of the campaign began in May 2004 and, as we near the halfway mark, CEW is delighted to announce that we have raised 104% of our overall goal. We are thrilled with this progress and grateful to each of you who has selected the Center as a recipient for your philanthropic gift. We do not take your generosity for granted, and we remain indebted to you for your partnership.
Within the Center’s overall campaign goal, we identified several specific initiatives that are key to our continued success – each with its unique mission, financial needs and objectives. Several of these particular areas have been supported by a large number of you, raising more money than we had originally set out to do. This wonderful news means that CEW can expand its reach to our client base.
Other key individual CEW campaign goals still need your consideration: the Counseling and Program Fund ($56K left to raise); the Research Fund ($400K left to raise); the Library Fund ($58K left to raise); and the Special Initiatives Fund ($185K left to raise). All of these important funds sustain work that goes on daily at the Center.
We celebrate the wonderful generosity that many of you have already shown us, and we ask others to consider supporting our mission: “Changing great potential to great achievements” for today’s and tomorrow’s participants.
For more information about the status of the Campaign and how you might participate in this partnership, please contact Beth Halloran, Director of Development (998-7689 or
