You will be invited to the Peking University Education Foundation Fundraising Dinner on October 13, 2007, together with the PKU delegation led by the Peking University President Prof. Xu Zhihong. Each table (10 seats) of this donation level shall raise sufficient funds to support one low-income student for a year.

 

$500: Donate a Seat to the PKU Olympic Sports Complex

 

PekingUniversity is undertaking the construction of the PKU Sports Complex for the Olympic Pingpong matches in 2008. To fully embody the Olympic spirit of Participation, PekingUniversity has decided to launch a worldwide fundraising campaign to construct a world-class Olympic Pingpong Gymnasium. Donors contributing $ 500 will have their names inscribed on plates embedded in gymnasium seats. This donation will also grant you a seat to the PKUEF fund raising dinner.

 

$600: Easy the Life for a Student

 

Approximately 28.5% of the PKU students come from financially handicapped families and 8.1% come from families below the Beijing Poverty Line (RMB 380 per capita/month). A grant of $600 will be sufficient to help a student from a lower income family with the daily expense in a school year. This donation will also grant you a seat to the PKUEF fund raising dinner.
