Class of 2016 Class Gift Information

The 2016 Class Gift: The Student Emergency Fund
With our final semester coming to an end, it is now time to truly leave our mark on the Akron Law community by contributing to the Student Emergency Fund. More specifically, this year’s class gift to Akron Law will be to raise additional capital for the Fund. The Student Emergency Fund was established last year by the class of 2015. The fund is intended to help students who face emergency financial situations while in law school, and only Akron Law students can apply for assistance. Additionally, students who receive assistance never have to pay it back.
After speaking with the Administration about what our monetary goal should be, we believe that collectively raising at least $1,500 for the fund is definitely obtainable. For example, just imagine if each 2016 graduate donated at least $10…we would be able to help so many Akron Law students moving forward. Additionally, and yet another really cool reason why you should consider donating to the fund, everyone who contributes will be recognized in the Graduation Packet, which will be distributed at Commencement. Similarly, those who contribute will also be recognized on the Akron Law Honor Roll of Donors, which is distributed annually to all alumni.
Again, this is our, the Class of 2016, way of leaving the Akron Law community in a far better place than when we started. There is no time commitment, or a huge monetary commitment for that matter. We are simply asking you to give what you can and ask a colleague to do the same. Donating to the Fund is just as simple. One can donate by: (a) check payable to UA School of Law, with “Student Emergency Fund” noted on the memo line; (b)completing a credit card donation form; or (c) giving online at http://www.uakron.edu/giving/colleges/. Please direct checks or credit card payments to the attention of Lia Evans, Director of Alumni and Development, at the School of Law. If giving online, follow the link and click “Gift a Gift” under the Law heading. Please be sure to direct the gift to the “Student Emergency Fund.”
The deadline is April 29, but because we are getting this notice out later than usual, students will have until the week before graduation to contribute to the Fund to get their names placed in the Graduation Packet at Commencement.
School’s almost out, let’s make it count!
Best,
Rich
