The Yale Club of Chicago Foundation

Dear Friend of Yale in Chicago:

We made it! Having been challenged by Chicago alum Paul C. Gignilliat, '53 to raise $12,500 (to be matched by him with an equal amount) I am delighted to report that we have exceeded the goal. As of this date, we have received a total of $13,095 in gifts to the Foundation. All of the money we receive, including Paul's matching gift, will go directly to the 92 students from the Chicago area who are currently receiving financial aid. Those of you who participated will receive a formal acknowledgment from the Foundation in the next few days via regular mail. Your gift has helped the Foundation maintain its commitment to providing Yale with at least $100,000 in financial aid for local students. You have made a real difference in the lives of these remarkable men and women. We hope they will return to Chicago after they graduate to continue Yale's legacy of leadership in our community.

Thank you, and congratulations!

Roger W. (Whit) Shepard '68
President
Yale Club of Chicago Foundation
