AU campaign raises more than $608 million
Auburn University ended its "It Begins at Auburn" Campaign this spring by raising a record $608,862,727. By June 2007, nine months ahead of schedule, the campaign had already passed its goal of raising half a billion dollars. All colleges and schools and athletics exceeded their individual goals. "This is the largest campaign in the university's history, and the largest in the state's history," said Jay Gogue, Auburn University president. "I am proud of the Auburn family for making it such a huge success. Every gift, whether one dollar or one million dollars, shows the strong connection that our alumni, friends, staff and faculty feel for their university." Contributions were made by 75,664 donors, and the total represents pledges and deferred and outright gifts. Of the total donors, 50,114 were alumni, with the remainder consisting of corporations, foundations and friends of the university. There were 117 gifts of $1 million or more totaling more than $286 million, or 47 percent of the campaign total. To read the news release, see http://wireeagle.auburn.edu/news/385.
