Several School of Medicine class agents, chairs, and their classmates have given significant gifts to jump-start their respective Reunion Gift Programs to benefit the Duke University School of Medicine.

Class of ’58 agent Charles E. Warner, MD’58, class member William F. Bryant, T’54, MD’58,
HS’58-’60, and class chair T. Rudolph Howell, MD’58, have teamed up to give $30,000 toward their class’s $100,000 Reunion Gift Program goal. There’s $35,925 still needed to meet that goal.

Class of ’73 co-agent Dale R. Shaw, T’69, MD’73, HS’73-’77, and co-agent Lawrence J. D’Angelo, MD’73, have announced that an anonymous donor from the Class of ’73 has given $35,000 to be used as a challenge match toward their class goal of $75,000.

And the Class of ’68 has been given a significant boost with a $40,000 challenge match from class member David N. Silvers, MD’68, in honor of his 40th reunion. The class goal is $75,000, and Ted R. Kunstling, T’65, MD’68, is leading that effort as class agent.

The remaining Reunion Gift Program classes and goals are as follows: Class of ’63: $50,000; Class of ’78: $100,000; Class of ’83: $60,000; Class of ’88: $20,000; Class of ’93: $15,000; Class of ’98: $5,000; and Class of ’03: $2,000.

The 2008 reuniting classes will celebrate their reunions during Medical Alumni Weekend, October 24-26. Any gifts made until October 31 will count towards the reunion total. Reunion gifts to The Fund for DukeMed provide critical funds for scholarships, research, and education at Duke University School of Medicine. Annual gifts of $1,000 or more are recognized with Davison Club membership.
