What鈥檚 the key ingredient of the successful launch of a major fundraising campaign?

Excitement.

This year鈥檚 President鈥檚 Gala provided plenty of it, along with inspiring addresses, entertainment provided by a Tony Award-nominated Broadway star and heartfelt tributes to some of Adelphi鈥檚 most generous donors.

鈥淲e wanted The Momentum Campaign announcement to have extraordinary impact, and I believe it did,鈥� said Thomas Kline, EdD, vice president of University advancement and external relations. 鈥淲e want our entire community to get excited about the campaign, get involved in it and take pride in it.鈥�

More than 270 alumni, friends, faculty members, students and their families attended the celebration, which was held at The Garden City Hotel on Saturday evening, September 21. The event raised more than $330,000 for the University.

This year鈥檚 honorees were the members of Million Dollar Roundtable, benefactors who have given or committed $1 million or more to the University. Earlier in the day, Adelphi also unveiled a wall of plaques in the Nexus Building honoring each of the members of the Roundtable. Eight of the 26 donors attended the ceremony as well as the Gala: Diane Abbey 鈥�59; Carol Ammon, MBA 鈥�79, 鈥�10 (Hon.); Frank Angello 鈥�77 and Phyllis Angello; Bharat Bhis茅, MBA 鈥�78, and Swati Bhis茅; LeeAnn Black 鈥�83 and Jeffrey Black; Loretta Cangialosi 鈥�80; Angela Jaggar 鈥�62, MA 鈥�65; and Christine Motamed, who represented her husband, Thomas F. Motamed 鈥�71.

The Momentum Campaign has already secured $75 million of its goal of $100 million. The University expects to raise the remaining amount by the end of the campaign in 2027.

Welcoming the guests at the Gala, President Christine M. Riordan explained the significance of the moment and the importance of the task ahead.

鈥淭his campaign is large in ambition, but it is equally large in purpose,鈥� she said. 鈥淚t is about ensuring Adelphi remains a premier institution of higher education for years to come and continues to be an engine for social mobility and student success.
