Dear Alumni and Friends,
George Mason University is pleased to recognize the many supporters who helped to make fiscal year 2012 a success in this year's Honor Roll of Donors, particularly the leaders whose gifts qualify for the Legacy Society, Mason Society, or President's Circle.
Through the generous support of private donors, Mason received nearly $42 million from over 18,000 individuals and organizations in fiscal year 2012 (July 1, 2011 - June 30, 2012). This includes an overall increase of gifts and pledges by more than 2,200 individuals, as well as the university's largest number of alumni donors to date, with 9,565 giving back to their alma mater. Every donor is an important part of our collective success, and we are deeply grateful to each of you for your commitment to Mason.
Thank you for your continued support of George Mason University.
Sincerley,
Marc Q. Broderick
Vice President, Office of Development and Alumni Affairs
