Description
This was our Landmark Project Opening Celebration. More than 1,000 donors to the project attend the official opening and were able to see and engage with their recognition elements. https://defygravitycampaign.utoronto.ca/news-and-stories/landmark-project-realizes-a-bold-new-vision-for-one-of-u-of-ts-most-iconic-spaces-2/
I would highlight two aspects of this. The general celebration photos are a bit more than half way down. But I would also highlight the picture of the UTAA board and senior university leaders celebrating the installation of the Alumni Plaza opening, a bit more than halfway down. The UTAA was our lead donor to the project and so they had a separate, special recognition event in the President's board room prior to one of their board meetings.
I also included our Chancellor's Circle of Benefactors Medal which is giving to donors when they are inducted into the CCB. This is when their name is inscribed on our donor wall for cumulative donations of $5m or more. The medal is affixed to the same type of stone the wall is made of.
