2012 Momentum Highlights

Case Western Reserve University's alumni and friends have broken the institution's all-time record for philanthropy for the second consecutive year. As of May 31, 2012—one month before the end of the fiscal year—giving totaled $134.5 million, more than $8 million ahead of last year's landmark achievement.
President Snyder shared the campaign news as part of the groundbreaking ceremonies for the $50 million Tinkham Veale University Center, the first major project of Forward Thinking, Case Western Reserve University's $1 billion capital campaign. The commitments to date for Fiscal Year 2012 put the university's campaign total at $713.7 million—a gain of more than $50 million since the campaign's public launch on Oct. 13, 2011.
More than 300 guests gathered Thursday evening as Snyder cited several additional initiatives supported through philanthropic commitments this year:
• Trustee Archie Co and his wife, Riuko, endowed a professorship in neuroscience awarded to Gary Landreth, PhD, in recognition of his extraordinary work in the field of Alzheimer's research;
• Alvin and Laura Siegal enabled the creation of the Alvin and Laura Siegal Lifelong Learning Center at Case Western Reserve, which will support broad community education programs as well as ones emphasizing elements of Jewish religious studies, culture and history;
• Members and friends of the Flora Stone Mather Alumnae Association enabled the organization to complete a $2 million challenge grant to support the programs of the Flora Stone Mather Center for Women;
• Trustee Larry Sears and his wife, Sally Zlotnick Sears, committed $5 million to inspire others to support a permanent structure for think[box], the hands-on learning initiative designed to encourage innovation and entrepreneurship in the Case School of Engineering; their gifts are part of $11 million recently pledged to think[box] and other academic programs at the school; and
• The Veale Foundation endowed the Veale Chair in Wireless Health at the Case School of Engineering.
