Family Campaign launched

Good morning fellow Brock colleagues,

The annual Family Campaign for Brock’s Bold New Brock campaign has officially launched on March 8. In the next couple of days, you should receive your campaign package. We hope that you will support the campaign and fill out the pledge form you received. You can drop it off at TH265e or send it to the Office of Development and Donor Relations through inter-office mail. Better yet, bring it with you to the Family Campaign breakfast at the Pond Inlet on March 23. The event takes place from 8:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. and includes a free hot breakfast.

Once again this year, you have the opportunity to take advantage of a government of Ontario matching program, the Ontario Trust for Student Support (OTSS). When you choose to support endowed student awards for students in financial need, the OTSS program will match every dollar of your gift with up to $2.12 in matching funds – tripling your contribution! In order to capitalize on this opportunity, please drop off your pledge form before the March 31 deadline.

And what’s more, thanks to the Ontario Graduate Fellowship Program, endowed graduate awards have an additional matching opportunity. This matching opportunity doubles the value of graduate awards, bursaries and scholarships that are open to both Canadian and international students.

With your support we can reach our 55 per cent participation goal. We’re already at 41.85 per cent – just a few more percentages to go!

By supporting the largest capital campaign in Brock’s history – the $75 million Campaign for a Bold New Brock – your gift will demonstrate your faith in Brock’s plans to realize its potential to expand in new and exciting directions as outlined in our academic plan.

Let’s rally as a family to support this important campaign. Please consider participating, whether it’s your first time or renewal of your past support. No amount is too small – give a gift that is important to you.

As a member of the Brock family, please join us on our journey to build a bold new Brock and a bold new future.
