One of the most meaningful ways to commemorate and celebrate your milestone reunion is through your class reunion gift. You can choose to give to any unit on campus in an area that is meaningful to you. All gifts are welcome. This includes out-right gifts, planned gifts, endowments, real estate gifts, securities, gifts-in-kind, and scholarships. You name it; the gift counts in recognition of your class and your alumni contributions to the University of Arizona.
