Telefund

The Annual Telefund kicked - off at the Skyline Club in Southfield, Mich. on October 5 and has been steadily raising money for the School of Medicine. Each fall, students and alumni volunteer to call graduates to request financial support of the Alumni Annual Fund supporting student scholarships, fellowships, advanced research and educational programs.

This year's goal is to raise $600,000 and as of 10/27/05 we have already raised $2 760,000.

Thank you to all who have volunteered as callers and most importantly, thank you to everyone who has donated to the annual fund already. Your support is greatly appreciated.
