WE DID IT!  '69 Exceeds Goals for 2013-14

The Class of 1969 finished our 45th Reunion year with the great spirit we are known for.  We achieved BOTH our dollar and participation goals, raising $2,094,030 from 505 classmates, for 69.5% participation!  Here are some factoids about these amazing results:

  • We were only the second Class in the past ten years to raise more dollars at our 45th than our 40th
  • Our 69.5% participation rate was our second highest total ever
  • Our dollar total was the third highest amount we have ever raised
  • Since graduation, the Class of 1969 has raised $16,815,863 in unrestricted AG funds to support Princeton's students and programs
  • Princeton's overall AG result:  $58.7 million and 61.4% participation

Letter from Class Agent Axelrod

Posted 1/18/2014

Dear Classmate:
 
It is my pleasure to update you on our 45th Reunion Annual Giving campaign as we pick up speed with the start of the new year.  As you hopefully know, our goals are to raise $2,069,000 with participation by 69% of the class.  To date, we have received gifts from 28% of the class totaling $635,000 and have additional pledges of $432,000.  This total commitment of $1,067,000 takes us more than halfway to our goal.  I particularly appreciate the generosity of the many classmates who have increased their gifts compared to what they gave at the 40th Reunion.
 
We are off to a great start, with many classmates yet to be heard from.  This year, we will be sending periodic update letters on the campaign to all classmates and will personally contact those of you we haven’t heard from.  So, what can you do to help?  The obvious answer—contribute now in an amount that is meaningful to you.  You are in the right place to do this quickly and easily; just click on the Giving tab at the top of the home page, then click on the link to Annual Giving.  What else can you do?  I am looking for "a few good men” to help reach out to classmates.  If you would like to learn more, please email me at raxelrod@stavinsaxelrod.com.
 
Thank you for your continued generosity and support.
 
Best regards,
 
Bob Axelrod
Class Agent
