GEORGETOWN ALUMNI MATERIALS

Georgetown comes to Carr to help reach $500 million goal

Georgetown University has set for itself quite a goal: Raise $500 million by 2014 for its scholarship fund. And raise it with minimum contributions of $25,000.

That sort of fundraising means the Georgetown Fund is going to skip printing hundreds of thousands of cheap tri-folds stuffed in little kiosks around campus. These are going to some of the most powerful and most affluent people in the world: former President Bill Clinton, King Abdullah II of Jordan, California First Lady Maria Shriver, basketball greats Alonzo Mourning, Patrick Ewing (and his son).

That kind of audience requires the best quality. So Georgetown came to Carr.

We’ve done similar work for Binghamton University and Cornell University – both of which also have NCAA tournament-level basketball programs. Maybe we can do some work for Syracuse University and start our own little fundraising league.
