Dear Friends,
Linda and I would like to offer our deep appreciation for your support of Illinois State University through your generous contributions to “Gladly We Give.” During this challenging economy, we know that each dollar must be closely watched and carefully spent. That makes your commitment even more important and special.
Because you chose to “State Your Passion” for Illinois State, we experienced a 25.3 percent increase in faculty, staff member and retiree participation over fiscal year 2008. Even more impressive is that our participation numbers this year represent a 40 percent jump over participant numbers during our Redefining “normal” family campaign.
Together, we contributed more than $840,000 to invest in the future of our institution. Beyond our thanks, you have the gratitude of our current and future students and the admiration of the entire University Community.
Thank you again for supporting Illinois’ first and finest public university.
Sincerely,
Al and Linda Bowman
