TUSM Class Pride Competition

Temple University School of Medicine has invited the 1959-2008 alumni classes to take part in the School’s first-ever Class Pride Campaign to support the Carson Schneck MD’59, PhD’65 Gross Anatomy Laboratory in the new medical school building.

The School has set up a specific fund for each class so alumni can follow class participation and donations made in support of the Schneck Campaign. Each class aims for 100% participation. Special thanks to those who have already made a gift to the Schneck Campaign. For those who have not yet contributed but wish to do so, please follow the link under "How You Can be Involved" to make your online gift today or contact Laura Wortman in the Institutional Advancement office at 215-707-9459.

All classes who raise at least $25,000 will have a plaque hung in the Schneck lab acknowledging this accomplishment. Please also note the matching component of this campaign: if the alumni classes together raise $3.22 million, the Kresge Foundation will donate $1 million as a capstone gift.

All donors will be invited to the grand opening ceremony and celebration scheduled for Fall, 2009. Classes with the highest participation and most dollars raised will receive special recognition at that time.

A Message from the Campaign Co-Chairs

Thousands of alumni and current students know the honor of learning gross anatomy from Carson Schneck. Now we have an opportunity to honor him with a campaign to dedicate the gross anatomy laboratory in the new medical school building in his name.

As father and son graduates--both grateful recipients of Dr. Schneck's amazing enthusiasm and knowledge base--we are privileged to lead the Carson D. Schneck Gross Anatomy Laboratory Campaign.

Dr. Schneck has taught generations of medical students and residents and continues to teach today with the same enthusiasm he showed us. We now have an opportunity to honor Dr. Schneck in a manner that he not only earned but also deserves.

We are proud to lead the way and are grateful for your consideration of support. Please feel free to contact either of us to discuss the campaign further. Our contact information is provided below.

On behalf of our fellow committee members, Dean Daly, and the entire Medical School family, we ask that you be as generous as you can with your gift. Our goal is to raise $1 million by May 31, 2009.

Please contact us. We'd love to hear from you!

Sincerely,

Thomas J. Yucha, MD'70, MRES'77, Committee Co-Chair

David T. Yucha, MD'02, MRES'07 Committee Co-Chair
