Welcome Young Alumni in the Classes of 1999-2008!

Many thanks to our 2007-08 Duke Annual Fund supporters and to our devoted young alumni volunteers. We ended the year with more than 3,300 young alumni donors—up almost 200 from last year's donor total!

Unrestricted gifts from you and other alumni, parents, students, and friends added up to more than $26 million, which goes right to work to fund scholarship grants, campus resources, and needs throughout the university.

On behalf of the students and faculty members, physicians and nurses, and members of the greater Duke community who benefit from your support, we thank all of you. Gifts like yours add up to make an important difference each and every year.

You can get the 2008-09 Duke Annual Fund off to a terriric start by making your gift today. You can make a gift online, or mail your gift to the Duke Annual Fund, Box 90600, Durham, NC 27708.

Thank you very much for your support!
