Delta Upsilon - University of Illinois

L E S S T H A N $ 1 M I L L I O N T O G O Do We Have Your Pledge? O n behalf of campaign leadership, I would like to thank everyone who has participated in our effort to fund much- needed updates for our Delta Upsilon Chapter House. We would not be at this stage in the project without the hard work and dedication of so many alumni, and it is gratifying to see many of you step forward with such generous financial support. We have seen a steady increase in pledges since announcing the Honoring the Past, Building for the Next Century campaign last fall, surpassing 78% of our $4 million goal! Make no mistake: this isn't the time to slow down. Campaign leadership will soon be making final arrangements on construction, and our progress through the end of the year will make the difference in our scale and budget. With less than $885,000 to go, we are confident that we will succeed together! The need is great, and the time is short. But right here and now, your financial resources are what will make the difference in the future of our beloved Chapter. You will find a pledge card and return envelope with this letter. Please don't put it aside or throw it away—fill it out now and send it today because your support will bridge the gap and help us reach the $4 million mark. You can also join us digitally by scanning the QR code to visit tinyurl.com/IllinoisDUDonate. Again, on behalf of all DU brothers—past, present, and future— thank you for your interest in and support of our fraternity. This is a historic time for Illinois Chapter, and we can't wait to show you how our home takes shape.
