A message from our Annual Giving Chair<\/h5>\n<p>What a momentous time it has been for the Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ and its Medical Center. From the historic announcement, earlier this month, that philanthropist and entrepreneur <a href=\"\/advancement\/\">Tom Golisano committed a $50 million donation<\/a>, to an incredible commencement that took place in May, there has never been a better time to be a part of our family.<\/p>\n<p>I was thrilled to participate in this year\u2019s Commencement. It was a gloriously sunny Rochester day, and the entire University came together to celebrate the Class of 2024. This next generation is full of promise, and I eagerly anticipate their future achievements. Significantly, your continued generous support has played an enormous role in preparing them for whatever path they may choose.<\/p>\n<p>The University also held its 10th annual Day of Giving this spring, and I\u2019m happy to share that a significant number of George Eastman Circle members participated. We played an important role in the success of the day, with more than 500 of you contributing more than $2.4M to funds across the University and Medical Center.<\/p>\n<p>Summer is officially here, and June 30 marks the close of the University\u2019s fiscal year. I want to remind you to <a href=\"\/giving\/gec\/membership\/make-a-gift\">make your annual membership payment or renew<\/a> if you have not done so already.<\/p>\n<p>On behalf of the University, thank you for all you do. My best wishes for a wonderful summer.<\/p>\n<p>Meliora,<\/p>\n<p>Gwen M.
