Cal Reunions | Class of 2007
Congratulations! It’s your Cal reunion.
What does that mean? It’s time to celebrate and it’s time to pay it forward...
Berkeley is one of the best investments we ever made - and Berkeley has shaped the trajectory of our lives in the most profound way.
WE have the opportunity to Keep Cal Golden.
Top 5 Reasons to Give Back this reunion year:
- Pay it forward - you can give Cal students following in your footsteps the same amazing opportunities you had.
- Invest in your future - Berkeley’s students and faculty are among the best and the brightest, and they are paving the way for new ideas and breakthroughs.
- Increase our rankings - Alumni giving rates tend to affect college rankings, so why not remain the #1 public university in the world?
- Do your part - Help fill in the gaps - The state funding situation is not getting any better. The state provides only 13% percent of our budget, and the rest is up to alumni like you!
- A little goes a long way - your $25, $50, or $100 gift - when combined with other alumni - becomes $250, $500, and $1,000 for Cal!
Why did we pick the Cal Fund for our crowdfunding campaign?
The Cal Fund touches just about every aspect of UC Berkeley…
- It ensures campus it accessible to all students by providing academic and financial support.
- It ensures Berkeley can recruit and retain the best faculty.
- And it makes hands-on, world-changing research opportunities happen - making sure Berkeley maintains its status as a leader in world-changing innovation and research.
Have we convinced you yet?
Our last plug: We are competing with other classes! Help our class get the highest participation rate, because we are Cal alumni, and we are competitive. There are some major pride points on the line.
GO BEARS!
