I hope you’re having a wonderful day. Here at Hillsdale, we’re getting ready to celebrate Independence Day. Right now, we’re celebrating the end of our fiscal year-end Annual Fund campaign. Thanks to thousands of informed patriots, we raised just over $2,300,000 that will help us defend liberty in the coming academic year.

I know you’re interested in our work, so I just wanted to let you know how this effort went.

Thanks to the faithful support of thousands of people, we can maintain our independence from government money and continue our vital work on behalf of liberty…without compromise! 

You know how important it is to preserve the College’s 180-year-old mission to provide “sound learning” of the kind needed to preserve “the inestimable blessings of civil and religious liberty.” That’s what makes campaigns like our fiscal year-end Annual Fund drive so important. 

In the coming academic year, we will stand firm in our commitment to reach and teach millions of Americans on behalf of liberty. I hope I can continue to count on you to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with us in that effort.

Enjoy the rest of your day. You’ll hear more from me and others here at the College soon—after all, Independence Day is tomorrow, a holiday near and dear to the mission of the College.

For liberty,

Bill Gray, ’01
