16 Regis Alumni News To All Friends of Regis: Help Us Build the Legacy It is our honor to invite you to join with us in supporting VISION TO LEAD, THE ENDOWMENT CAMPAIGN FOR <strong>REGIS</strong>. This campaign has the full support of the Board of Trustees, which has empowered us to share the reasons for the campaign with all our fellow Regians. John A. Werwaiss Chairman, Board of Trustees Martin J. Mannion Co-Chairman, Endowment Campaign On the following pages, you will read about the Regis so many of us know and love. In many ways, the school today is unchanged from the Regis we attended. Scholastic standards remain rigorous for our very gifted students. The Ignatian spirituality in which we were immersed remains a strong and ever-present influence throughout the school. The air of intellectual discovery, spirited debate and quiet reflection is palpable throughout the corridors. Anthony J. DiNovi Co-Chairman, Endowment Campaign You will also see a Regis with which you may not be familiar. The face of the school is changing, as physical refurbishments and improvements elevate the environment in which our students learn. Fabian Fondriest Chairman, Development Committee The financial profile of the school is changing as well. The noble generosity of the Foundress and of her family left
Summer 2004 17 Each of us came to Regis with varying talents and abilities. We left with all these things and much more. It is with the sure knowledge of the value of these gifts that we ask for your help, confident that you will respond. us an invaluable legacy. But an appropriately managed endowment such as ours cannot grow fast enough through investments alone to keep pace with the normal advance of expenses, so many of which are beyond the direct control of school administrators. The numbers do not deceive. Despite the generous outpouring of support from you each year in the Annual Fund - support which now accounts for more than half of annual income - future projections indicate that the gap between income and expenses will only continue, even widen, as the growth in the endowment’s contribution to our income is continually exceeded by rising costs. The Board of Trustees in consultation with the president of Regis has considered various remedies available to us. We must continue to rely on your support year after year through the Annual Fund, but this alone will be insufficient to close the gap. The Board has concluded that the wisest, most prudent course is to undertake this campaign, which will begin to enlarge the permanent endowment. So we write to you plainly to make the case, trusting that you will look reality squarely in the face and agree with our assessment. To put Regis on a firm financial foundation for the 21st century will require your material support. We do not urge you to consider the need because you owe Regis a debt. Our Regis education was a gift, freely given, with no strings attached. You have no obligation to respond. For many of us, however, the same generosity which sparked the original endowment now inspires us, and leads us to want to pass the legacy to succeeding generations of young men. The vast majority of Regians believe, as we do, that our success in our chosen field of endeavor is in large part attributed to the training of mind and spirit we received while we were at Regis. So we ask you to do whatever you can within your means to make this campaign the success we know it will be. Your contribution to the campaign will not be used to cover shortfalls in operating costs this year, or any year. Your participation in VISION TO LEAD will go directly into the endowment and become a timeless legacy, a resource that will help unknown numbers of young men in the future come to Regis, study and mature for four years, and leave prepared to assume leadership roles in law and government, the Catholic Church, academia, the arts and other walks of life, confident in their traditions, abilities and beliefs. Deeply grateful for the indispensable support provided by you, its loyal alumni and friends, each year through the Annual Fund, Regis now asks you to look to the future and to follow in the tradition of the founding family by making your contribution, thereby helping ensure the strength of Regis for generations to come.
