Your Class of 2004 Reunion Campaign
A message to the Class of 2004
Every five years, our class has the opportunity to reconnect, reflect on and celebrate our time at Stanford. Some found our calling here, others found partners, and all of us made lifelong friends. We’ve signed on as co-chairs for our Class of 2004 reunion campaign, and are asking you to join the campaign committee alongside us.
The 20th Reunion Campaign focuses on two goals:
Creating fun and memorable opportunities for class connection.
Raising support to ensure current students have the same opportunities we had.
Throughout the year, this page will be updated to reflect giving opportunities, events and highlights from the campaign. We hope you’ll join us in coming together to celebrate and make an impact!
Warmly,
Sonja Brand, Alexander Kendall, Elizabeth Madjlessi Kendall, Vandita Khullar Singh, J.C. Mauricia, and Jared Parker

Give back during your reunion year
So much of our student experience was supported by alumni before us, and now it’s our chance to pay it forward.
Whether you give through The Stanford Fund or to another part of Stanford, you can choose to support an area that was important to your experience or that you are passionate about.
All gifts made through December 31, 2024, will count towards our class reunion campaign and help our class make a collective impact.
Donate online
Make a secure gift online today. You can make an immediate impact by supporting Stanford students in ways that are meaningful to you.
Mail your gift
Make checks payable to “The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University” or “Stanford University” and mail to:
Stanford University
P.O. Box 20466
Stanford, CA 94309-0466
Please include a note telling us how you’d like your gift to be used (for example, “gift designated for The Stanford Fund”).
Make a pledge
Reunion commitments often take the form of multiyear pledges, typically over a five-year period. The entire amount of the pledge counts toward your class’ reunion giving total.
Make a planned gift
Planned giving involves providing for a future gift to charities through your financial and estate plans. The university welcomes gifts made through different planned giving arrangements.
Matching gift opportunity
As a reminder, the 20th reunion has a class match! Every new gift or pledge through The Stanford Fund received through December 31, 2024, up to $10,000, will be matched 1:1 until all matching funds have been earned. These funds will make a big difference for today’s students and this generous match gives each of us the opportunity to double our impact.
Our progress
On behalf of Stanford and the class giving team we gratefully acknowledge alumni who have made a gift or pledge to Stanford in honor of reunion. These numbers reflect campaign commitments made between January 1 and August 31, 2024 (including some prior gifts made in honor of reunion). Our remaining honor roll deadline is December 31. Final results will be posted in February 2025.

Why I give
Many of the experiences I enjoyed at Stanford were made possible because of the vision and generosity of generations of alumni who believed contributing to the University can make a difference in students' lives. In embracing that belief, I hope to contribute to our shared responsibility to pay it forward and support future changemakers.”
Elizabeth Kendall, ’04
I give because I remember walking up to Old Union first day of the quarter clutching a tuition check, praying for it to clear. I give for those that gave before me and made it possible for a broke kid from Mira Mesa to co-chair his 20th year Stanford reunion!”
