GAMMA MU FOUNDATION SPECIAL DONATION CHALLENGE IN  CELEBRATION OF THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF 
GAMMA MU

50/50/50

We have a special opportunity to make your special 50th Anniversary donations to the Gamma Mu Foundation go further!

To help celebrate the 50th anniversary of Gamma Mu, we approached a small group of members to raise $50,000.00 and we challenge fellow members of Gamma Mu to contribute an additional $50,000.00 as a commemorative donation to the Foundation.

We are very proud to report that our initial request raised $70,000.00 from 14 donors.  If we meet the goal of our challenge during the Washington, DC fly-in, we will have raised $120,000 in honor Gamma Mu's 50th year!!!

Every $100,000.00 we add to our perpetual fund allows us to fund more grants and scholarships on an ANNUAL BASIS.

Please consider making a "SPECIAL" donation to the Gamma Mu Foundation this year as Gamma Mu celebrates it's 50 year anniversary celebration in Washington DC.

Please indicate that your donation is for:  50/50/50

Ft. Lauderdale Event

The "Celebration" event in Ft. Lauderdale in January was a spectacular success.  108 members and friends of Gamma Mu attended and nearly $30,000.00 was raised to help fund our Grant and Scholarship programs. Many thanks to John Ellis and his team for staging and promoting this great event.
