As we look ahead to the upcoming academic year, we are proud to welcome a talented entering class, full of promise and excitement. These cadets will have an opportunity to experience some recent enhancements on campus and benefit from the growth we have seen over the last decade. The generosity of our alumni and parents has allowed us to provide the necessary resources and the excellent hands-on learning experiences that make the California Maritime Academy unique from other educational institutions. This year, a special opportunity is available for alumni and parents like you to make your contributions stretch even further for the Academy.
A donor has come forward with a Matching Challenge Grant that would double the impact of your contribution for all new or increased gifts from last year. This $50,000 grant will provide additional student scholarships during a time when many students are struggling to finance their education. Whether you give to Cal Maritime every year, have given in the past, or will be making your first gift, now is the time to show your support for our cadets.
In the coming days, you will receive a phone call from one of our representatives. I hope you will take a moment to speak with them and make a gift to Cal Maritime.
There has never been a better time to join our devoted alumni and parents in support of the Academy. Investing in education is never a risk, and it is even easier this year since your gift will be worth twice as much to our cadets!
Thank you, in advance, for your time and participation in such an important cause. You really do make a difference in the lives of our cadets.
Sincerely,
William B. Eisenhardt
President
The California Maritime Academy |
