Annual Giving

Haas Annual Fund: A Top Campaign Goal

This past year the Haas Annual Fund received a record $3,072,184 from a record 4,349 donors. The Annual Fund supports a variety of purposes in the Dean’s Office, including support for graduate programs, undergraduate programs, and other initiatives to benefit the Haas School. Mike Meyer, MBA 70, and Carol Meyer, MBA 71, and Annette and Tim Ryan, BS 59, MBA 62, are among many donors who have given significant challenge gifts for the annual fund to encourage unrestricted giving to the Haas School.

During the quiet phase of The Campaign for Haas over the last three years, Annual Fund donors have cumulatively given more than $8.4 million.

All gifts to the Haas Annual Fund count toward the ultimate goal of The Campaign for Haas, and supporting the Annual Fund is one of Dean Rich

Lyons’ top goals.

Volunteers Surpass Annual Fund Goals

Steve Peletz, BS 83, MBA 99, is one of more than 100 volunteers whose hard work has enabled the Annual Fund to surpass its goals for six years in a row.

Peletz, vice chair of the Haas Development Council, won the Raymond E. Miles Service Award in 2006 for his years of service to the Haas School.
