Class of 2008 reunion check at Reconnect 2023

Milestone Match Challenge

A group of alumni leaders celebrating reunion milestones in 2026 committed a total of $1,200,000 to the Chicago Booth Annual Fund. With their commitment, they offered matching funds to inspire others to give, through the Milestone Match Challenge.

All new 2026 five-year reunion pledges of $500 or more annually were matched through the Milestone Match Challenge, effectively doubling the size of qualifying gifts and their impact on each class's fundraising goal. Alumni from the Class of 2025 were eligible for the match for five-year pledges of $250 or more annually.
