Yes! Every contribution added together becomes a powerful force to make an impact.  We know that smaller gifts can and do add up: 75% of gifts given last year were $100 or less.  A gift is an investment that helps ensure that the education, healing and research we do here every day will continue and make an impact on our university, health system and community.
