About Campaign Chicago

As Chicagoans and Purdue alumni, we have seen firsthand that Purdue University touches our lives in many ways. There are more than 60,000 alumni and friends in the Chicago area. Many have contributed significantly to the economic growth and quality of life here. Purdue University is an exceptional institution of higher learning and research, providing a place for students to grow their hopes, dreams and aspirations for the future.

As you know, the University is celebrating the overwhelming success of The Campaign for Purdue, which has built a foundation for excellence in higher education. In order to maintain its position of preeminence, Purdue University's dependence on the support of alumni is ever-increasing. The Chicago Campaign has engaged many Chicagoland boilermakers, many of whom have already been actively involved in the campaign's leadership. Because of their effort and generosity, we have exceeded our goal and raised over $105 million for Campaign Chicago.

We would like to encourage all Purdue alumni in the Chicago area to get involved and participate in this effort. This is an opportunity for Chicagoans to contribute to the University that has made such a significant difference in all of our lives.

Please take a moment to review the campaign's goals and consider the impact you can make for Purdue and future generations of Purdue students.

Hail Purdue!
