Tucker Annual Appeal Breaks All Records

Contributions to this year's Friends of Tucker campaign have far surpassed any annual appeal results in the history of the Foundation. To date the Foundation has received gifts from 248 donors totalling more than $40,000. This year's gifts represent an increase of $25,375 and nearly 200% increase over last year's total of $14,625.

Gifts of $1,000 or more were made by the following donors:

$10,000 and Greater
Anne K. Helgen '78

$2,000-$9,999
Barry J. Alperin '62
Katherine Jenks '85

In addition to the donors named above, the Tucker Foundation received two very special gifts that were made to establish specific funds at the Tucker Foundation. These gifts are not included in the Annual Appeal total.

Pamela Joyner Love '79 established the Pamela Joyner Love 1979 Endowment Fund. Income from this $25,000 endowment fund will be used to support Tucker Fellowships.

Munir Abu-Haidar established the Abu-Haidar Family fund for the Tucker Foundation. This $50,000 fund will be used to support the Dartmouth Partners in Community Service Program.

The Tucker Foundation relies upon annual gifts and endowment income for more than one half of its total operating budget. Thank you to each of these individuals, and to the many other donors who support our work. The investment that you have made in the future of the Foundation and in our students is an inspiration to us all.
