Gifts Push Campaign Closer to $30 Million Goal “I am serving Truman because of my strong belief in its future, in appreciation for the quality educational preparation I received, and based on my desire to invest back into a university that has given so much to me.” ―Chuck Foudree (’66), Campaign Chair Campaign Steering Committee Chuck Foudree (’66), Chair Charles J. McClain, Honorary Chair & former University President Troy D. Paino, University President Thomas Jayne Bonnie (Neuner) Kuebler (’87) Mike McClaskey (’85) Linda Miller (’70) David Nichols Randa Rawlins (’79) Calvin Roebuck (’57) Steve Rose (’69) Regional Campaign Chairs Arizona Mike Whitney (’94) Chicago Sarah (Donnell) Theriault (’03) Colorado Mike McClaskey (’85) Des Moines, Iowa Cindy Spiker (’93) & Jane Watkins (’70) Florida Gerry (Toth) Ready (’70) Kansas City Larry Lunsford (’81) Northeast Missouri Terri Heckert, Professor of Psychology Mid-Atlantic Area Steve Rose (’69) Mid-Missouri Randa Rawlins (’79) & Jim Cherrington (’85) St. Louis Jeannette (Toth) Harris (’71, ’78) Texas Will Sass (’72) Truman alumni and friends have given more than $21.6 million in gifts and pledges to the “Bright Minds Bright Futures” campaign which is committed to raising $30 million by the end of June 2011. Truman’s revenue comes from state appropriations, tuition and private gifts, and like other public institutions, the University has seen dramatic cuts to state funding with even more cuts looming on the horizon. To ensure that Truman continues its tradition of offering a quality education, Truman is seeking to increase private giving through this campaign. “To ensure the bright futures for our students, private support is needed more than ever,” said Steve Rose, a member of the Class of 1969 and president of the Truman State University Foundation Board. “To provide the excellence Truman has become known for, we need your help.” The “Bright Minds Bright Futures” campaign is the largest fundraising effort in the history of Truman, and the public phase of the campaign was announced during Homecoming 2009. With a focus on students, the campaign is seeking to secure funding for student scholarships, academic and enrichment programs, support for faculty, and athletics. Throughout 2010, campaign volunteers have been hosting regional campaign events so that alumni and friends all around the country have an opportunity to become involved in this historymaking campaign. In the coming months, alumni and friends can play a role in helping Truman achieve the $30 million goal set forth in the “Bright Minds Bright Futures” campaign. All gifts made to Truman by June 30, 2011, will count toward the campaign.
