Friends,

The University of Montevallo holds a special place in our hearts.  It is something more than the brick paved streets, the beautiful campus, the rich homecoming tradition, the engaging professors, and the many lifelong friends that we made along the way.  It is home.  As alums, we understand the importance that our many educational and life learning experiences at Montevallo have had in shaping us as individuals.  It is because of these many different experiences that so many alumni choose to give back by donating to the Montevallo Annual Fund every year.

Recent Annual Funds have surpassed the prior year’s goals because of the support of generous alumni like yourself.  The 2012-13 Annual Fund is set to achieve new goals the University has not seen in the past with our fundraising efforts with increased alumni and faculty & staff participation.  The Annual Fund meets the needs of our students, faculty, and campus in a variety of ways.  The money received is used to enhance the college experience and help change lives.  By giving today, you can help make a positive impact for students on campus today and for generations to come. 

There are many ways you can contribute:  support scholarships, be a part of a special project on campus, donate in memorial or in honor of someone, and also give to unrestricted giving to provide for a variety of student and campus initiatives.  Any amount, big or small, will go a long way in making the UM experience the best it can be.  Gifts can be made in a variety of ways including a one-time pledge or monthly with a recurring credit card payment.  You can do either of these on our website by clicking on the "Donate Now" link.  We thank you for your time and consideration, and look forward to partnering with you for the future of the University of Montevallo.

Sincerely,

Jeffrey Purvis ‘02

2012 – 2013 Annual Fund Chair
