Class Giving Campaign

The Class Gift at SU Law is a fundraising campaign led by students in their last year of law school, providing a great way for the class to make a real difference in the life of the school and build on a tradition of giving back to SU Law.

Class of 2009 Giving Campaign

Laura Cacek and Michelle Fontenot are leading the efforts for this year's December graduates. In the spring the committee was made up of: Danielle Cross, Stephanie Doherty, Kevin Hastings, Chiara Rowan McGowan, Ty Rogers and Kiersten Weinberger.

The Class of 2009 spring grads brought the participation rate to 52%, the highest percentage of class giving in the history of the law school and representing a tremendous effort on the part of all who gave and of the volunteer leadership of the campaign. The Class of 2009 December grads strive to surpass this achievement and set a new standard of engagement for students and alumni.

Join the Giving Committee and other members of the Class of 2009 in supporting SU Law today. Online, you may participate in one of two ways: You may give your locker and/or refrigerator key deposit(s), each a $10 gift in support of the School of Law. You may give using your credit card, and pledge your support with your locker and/or refrigerator key deposit(s), if you wish to do both. Remember, participation is the goal so a gift of any size is welcome and very much appreciated.

Each graduate has the opportunity to make their gift in honor or in memory of family, friends or a professor who had a profound impact on their law school experience. These names will be listed in the graduation program. Also, all members of the class who make a pledge by Friday, December 4 will be listed in the school's annual Report of Giving.

Laura Cacek and Michelle Fontenot of the December Class of 2009 Giving Committee had this to say about the importance of giving back to the School of Law:

"Graduation marks a public, as well as personal, milestone for us as we make the transition from students to stewards of the law school. As students, we've gratefully received the benefits of those who came before us and contributed to our success. As stewards of the school, we invite you now to help create those benefits and advantages for future students by becoming benefactors of Seattle University School of Law. We invite you to raise the participation level of our class to more than 58% by making your gift today!"
