Why I Give

Gifts of all sizes make an impact. These donors share why they answered The Call to Lead.

“My husband Bob always supported Dartmouth over the years. The arts were a central part of our lives, and I know he would appreciate the opportunity to directly support the Hop and help continue the important part that it plays in the cultural and social life of Dartmouth students.”

Deidre O’Flaherty W’70

“Participating in the sailing team on Lake Mascoma remains one of my most treasured memories from my time in Hanover.”

Spencer Garrett ’96

“I give because I want a black or brown child to look up in the math, computer, or science classroom and see a face that resembles them. That in turn gives them the confidence to say, ‘I can be that. NO, I WILL BE THAT!’”

Makishma Cabo ’96

“My time at Dartmouth was a life-changing experience for me. I believe The Call to Lead will drive the College to its full potential and provide the best education to our students.”

Yue Ling Chiu ’00

“Dartmouth golf was a great experience for me, and I hope my contribution helps today’s team members benefit in the same ways I did.”

Clair Grant ’71

“I majored in the DOC. I’m still active in the outdoors, still providing support to current students as an advisor to the Woodsmen’s Team.”

Kevin Peterson ’82

“Access to the outdoors was a major driver in my decision to attend medical school at Dartmouth. The Skiway has provided me with many evening skis, shared among classmates and friends, validating my decision to choose Dartmouth. I’m giving because I want the Skiway to continue to be a source of balance and restoration for students in the future.”

Deborah Furman MED’22

“I used to teach skiing at the Skiway as an undergrad. Fantastic experience and it led me to becoming a part-time ski instructor on the weekends at Okemo once I graduated.”
