Foundation Set to Launch 2011 Alumni Annual Fund Appeal
published on Oct 14th, 2011
The 2011 Alumni Annual Fund Appeal will be launched in the coming weeks. In an effort to minimise overheads, this year's Appeal will be sent by email and graduates are encouraged to make their donations online.
Given the current financial difficulties that many families are facing, for this year’s Annual Fund Appeal we have decided to place a special focus on student scholarships and Access initiatives for disadvantaged students, which will help ease the burden on families who are struggling with the costs associated with sending their children to university.
Every graduate who donates to this year's Appeal will be entered into a prize draw for two tickets to the UL President’s Gala Dinner in Dromoland Castle on Friday, May 11th, 2012. The prize also includes overnight Bed & Breakfast accommodation in a deluxe room at Dromoland Castle on the night of the event. The President’s Dinner is an annual fundraising event supported by local companies and individuals and is one of the highlights on the calendar of the mid-west.
In the meantime, graduates, please keep a close eye on your email for further details of this year's Appeal.
