Every Dollar Counts
Robert Boudreau (left), '51, '53, exemplifies the spirit of Tulane alumni giving. Every time he sees President Scott Cowen (right), Bobby makes sure to give him at least $1. Bobby’s enthusiasm is contagious, and his generosity is legendary. His public displays of generosity demonstrate beautifully that there is no gift too small to make a difference.

The Albert H. Small, Jr. Reunion Gift Challenge
Who All alumni that received a degree from Tulane from a class ending with a 4 or 9. That includes every reunion class starting with our most recent 2009 graduates working back in five year increments ending with the class of 1959's 50th reunion class.
What The Albert H. Small, Jr. will match all unrestricted reunion class donations, dollar for dollar, up to $500,000 total. Any unrestricted gift from alumni celebrating their reunion year will trigger the match that will automatically be applied to the Albert H. Small, Jr. Reunion Gift Challenge Grant.
When For five months only starting May 10th through October 10th 2009. This challenge will conclude on the evening of Tulane's homecoming weekend. The results from this initiative will be presented during the all alumni reunions Wave'09 party on Friday evening October 9th, 2009.
Where The Albert H. Small, Jr. matched portion to the reunion participants' gift will be directed to the Tulane City Center, which houses the Tulane Architecture's urbanBUILD research and outreach programs. Now, supporting what you love most about your alma mater also means helping the City Center continue its nationally recognized groundbreaking work in rebuilding the city of New Orleans.
Why The challenge allows these alumni to give to Tulane University knowing that the amount they give will be doubled, making the impact of new gifts from alumni and matching funds from this challenge will provide essential support for Tulane during its rebuilding process.
