Traveling? Remember the 2006 Benefit

Travelers returning to their favorite vacation spot (or venturing somewhere new) should ask their host to support the 2006 Spring Benefit by donating a one-week stay at their resort or private home. The Spring Benefit is a black-tie dinner with a live and silent auction that raised over $320,000 for the school in 2005. The auctions feature world-class items and have gained distinction in recent years for offering unique trips to exotic locations.

To request a donation to the Spring Benefit, ask the donor to complete a Donor Request Form. You can also pick one up in the Development Office. Next year’s Spring Benefit is Saturday, April 8, so trips should be available after April 9, 2006, with an acceptable expiration date of one year. Other limitations, exclusions and restricted dates should be written on the donor form. Also ask for a brochure from the donor, if available, to use as a display piece at the auction.

Proceeds from the Spring Benefit support financial aid scholarships, faculty development programs, and maintenance of the historic buildings on campus. Donors who support the Spring Benefit not only help raise funds for these programs, but also receive recognition in the presence of the school’s unique audience: multi-national, multi-lingual, and multi-cultural Atlanta area residents who are CEOs, Ambassadors, CFOs, local civic leaders and people from every part of the globe.
