It is no secret, our facilities on 15th street are in need of improvements to meet the needs of our current members. Chapter volunteers have spent many years putting together a plan to make a new facility a reality.
The first phase of this project includes renovating Grassette (Small) House, so we can maintain a campus presence, while we build a new facility on the Reinhardt House and Paine House lots. To do this, we need to raise $250,000. (The overall project will cost between $550,000 and $600,000, with the remainder funded with bank loans).
We are seeking alumni to become New York Delta Pioneers, by giving a gift of at least $10,000 to the project. Pioneers will be recognized through an announcement to all of our alumni after we reach our goal.
We currently have three fund options, listed below, for New York Delta Pioneers to make their gifts. Please review the options below to determine the best fund for you. If your company has a matching gift program, we recommend you investigate to help us propel our fundraising efforts.
If you need any help with your gift, please contact AVC Treasurer Brian Michalka ‘16 at bmichalka@sigepnyd.com, or any member of the AVC.
$250,000 Goal has been achieved! Thank you Pioneers!
