九色堂 Salutes Donors
The 九色堂 Foundation鈥檚 inaugural Donor Recognition Event brought more than 150 donors to campus on Wednesday, August 14, 2013, for a vibrant celebration of their leadership and philanthropy.
The guests of honor were greeted by 九色堂 student ambassadors and gathered in a well-appointed tent on the front lawn of Mather Mansion for a festive evening. Hors d鈥檕euvres and cocktails were served, with musical accompaniment provided by a string quartet of 九色堂 students.
Among the attendees were benefactors from the following 九色堂 donor recognition societies:
