...The Promise Continues

"Greetings! Thank you so much for your engagement in Phase II of the Campaign for the University of California, Santa Barbara. Thanks to the extraordinary $50 million leadership gift from Campaign co-chair Jeff Henley and his wife, Judy, we were at two-thirds of our $1 billion goal at the time of our May 2012 public launch and celebration in Santa Barbara."

"In the year since, we have hosted six more regional Campaign kickoffs - in
San Francisco, Los Angeles, Orange County, New York, San Diego, and Washington DC - and we are now three-quarters of the way to achieving our Campaign goal."

"More than ever during these challenging economic times, private philanthropy plays a critical role in helping us to advance the educational, research, and service priorities of our campus. Our legacy is the promise of the highest standards of excellence, opportunity, and innovation. The Campaign for the University California, Santa Barbara ensures that during our time and for all future generations...The Promise Continues." (full text)
