Donor Recognition
What sparks the circle of philanthropy? For some donors, it's a beloved family member or an influential teacher who inspires them to give. For others, it's a successful life and the promise to "pay forward" the help they once received.
When you support The Campaign to Build Character and Careers or make a contribution to the Annual Fund, you will join a family of donors who have helped Cal U improve the education opportunities for our students.
