Your Class of 2009 Reunion Campaign

FROM Your reunion campaign co-chairs

A message to the Class of 2009

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 2009 reunion campaign, and are asking you to join the campaign committee alongside us.

The 15th 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,

Jeremy Bronfman, Stephanie Bronfman, Paul Yun, and David Wu

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:

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.

Support high-priority initiatives through impact funds

When you give through The Stanford Fund, you support many aspects of the undergraduate experience with a single gift. Impact funds offer targeted opportunities to support university initiatives that align with your specific interests.

During your reunion campaign, you can designate your gifts to any or all of the funds listed here. Giving through an impact fund comes with the same benefits of giving through The Stanford Fund, including recognition as a Leadership Circle or President’s Fund-level donor.

Financial aid

Contribute to a more equitable future in Stanford education by giving toward need-based financial aid. Nearly half of all undergrads receive financial aid each year.

Support access with financial aid

Community centers

Promote justice, belonging, and equity on campus with a gift toward the Centers for Equity, Community, and Leadership.

Support community centers

Student social life

Why I give

“Stanford has made a profound impact on my life. I felt (and still feel) compelled to support the institution which gave me so many opportunities.”
