When you get the call...answer with, "Terry!"

It’s that time of year when students begin calling all UGA alumni to update records, find out what is going on in the lives of alumni and importantly, ask for annual contributions to the Georgia Fund in support of university-wide initiatives. In the coming weeks, you can look forward to a UGA student calling you to ask for your annual donation.

This year, we invite you to DESIGNATE a portion of your gift to the Terry College of Business through the Terry Annual Fund. Your gift to the Terry College of Business is crucial to the strength of Terry’s future. By designating a portion of your gift you are directing money to the specific programs and departments that made an impact in your education and career.

Of course, any gift to the Terry Annual Fund is also a gift to the Georgia Fund—it is simply ear marked for the college you love. When designating your gift you will enjoy all of the society memberships and benefits that come along with a gift to the Terry Annual Fund, AS WELL as to the Georgia Fund. So when you get the call, answer with “Terry!”

Here are ways your annual dollars are hard at work at the Terry College of Business:

---------------------------------

148 gifts of $25 = $3,700

Helps one undergraduate student experience the Leonard Leadership Scholars program.

20 gifts of $250 = $5,000

Makes it possible for one student to study overseas.

12 gifts of $500 = $6,000

Affords the Music Business Program a promotional video to recruit the best future students and help secure jobs in the music industry for current students.

---------------------------------

As you can see, the collective impact of many gifts keeps this college strong. Of course, you can always make a gift by visiting www.terry.uga.edu/makeagift any time, but students look forward to speaking with you by phone soon! Don't forget to tell them all about what you have accomplished since your college days at Terry...you will encourage these undergraduate callers and we can even use your story to inspire students to come!
