University of Louisville
C-A-R-D-S!
Nothing is more exciting than a Saturday afternoon battle between the Cardinals and the Wildcats. With feet stomping, hearts pounding and the crowds in the stands cheering, you know you're in Card country.
Join us for another chance to beat the Wildcats and accept the Kentucky Challenge!
The Kentucky Challenge is your chance to show your Cardinal pride and support your alma mater. We invite all University of Louisville undergraduates from 1996-2005 to help U of L become #1 in alumni giving.The Kentucky Challenge is based on participation levels--not the amount of your gift--so your gift of any amount is welcome.
Your support is needed
Currently, state appropriations account for just 32 percent of U of L's budget. Tuition and fees account for only 17 percent. Thus private support is crucial for our students and U of L's success.
You can choose to support any area you wish. You may give to your school's Annual Fund, which is used where the need is greatest--scholarships, research opportunities, facility and lab upgrades and a host of other areas that simply can't be funded by state support and tuition alone. Or you can give to your favorite department or scholarship program. The choice is yours!
Whatever area you choose to support, and whatever amount you decide to give, your tax-deductible gift will make a difference for U of L's students and its mission of becoming a preeminent metropolitan research institution.
How to give
To make a gift to U of L and participate in the Challenge, go to our online gift form. You can also make your gift through the phonathon or direct mail appeals. Questions? Contact Bill Turner '03GE at 502-852-7111 or at william.turner@louisville.edu.
