Double Your Impact!
Generous Thornton alumnus David Newman and his wife
Krystyna (who are also USC parents) offer a challenge to all
USC Thornton alumni, parents and friends: in honor of the
School’s 125th Anniversary, the Newmans will match the
first $125,000 contributed to the 125th Anniversary Fund.
Your $125 becomes $250; $500 becomes $1,000; $5,000
becomes $10,000.
“Given our family’s long history
with USC, we are delighted
to partner with the Thornton
School during its 125th
Anniversary year. We issue this
matching challenge to encourage
all Thornton alumni, parents
and friends to get involved and
contribute to the future success
of USC Thornton, which has
long been and promises to
be a vital training ground for
music’s future leaders.”
Double Your Member Courtesies!
The matched amount will also be applied to your membership level in the Thornton Patron’s or Dean’s Circle, upgrading the courtesies that you will receive. For a gift of $125 at the Adagio level, your support will be matched and you will be recognized at the $250 Allegro level!
Your Contribution to the 125th Anniversary Fund Helps:
- 450 students receive $5.5 million in merit-based financial aid
- 185 faculty members mentor 1,000 students
- 5 new or redesigned degree programs get off the ground
- 20,000 sq. ft. of newly-acquired facility space receive necessary retrofitting
USC Thornton Giving Societies
