Harrison Challenge Gift Inspires Others C. LASH HARRISON 62B 65L wanted to inspire and
motivate fellow alumni to support Emory Law. Through his challenge gift, he has helped raise more than $227,000 in first-time gifts at leadership levels. “I wanted to encourage others to begin to support the law school on a regular basis and at a higher level,”
Harrison says. “That is why we fashioned the gift as a matching/challenge gift. So far it has been successful.” Harrison pledged $250,000 in challenge funds to encourage fellow alumni to support the Law School Fund for Excellence.

matched all new gifts at the Barrister ($1,000) or Dean’s Circle ($2,500) levels. As of July 8, the challenge and 100 Days, 100 Barristers campaign raised roughly $454,000 and recruited 107 new Barristers and 48 new Dean’s Circle members. “My Emory Law education and the friendships I developed with my classmates and other law alumni provided the basis for the successes I have enjoyed in my career,” Harrison says. “In supporting the law school, I am paying Emory back for those opportunities. I doubt that I will ever be able to fully pay for all I received, but I am trying to pay something.”’ “When I was told about the matching challenge going on, I thought ‘let’s do it,’” says new Dean’s Circle member John Mills 90l and partner with Barnes & Thornburg llp. “I had been giving at the Barrister’s level so the challenge was an incentive to give more to see what could be accomplished.” “I wanted to support Emory Law,” says William P. Evans 80l, a new Barrister and partner with Evans, Scholz, Williams & Warncke llc. “When I heard about the challenge, I thought ‘now is the time to do it’— especially since my contribution would be matched.”Keeping up with the law school is important to Mills, who serves as on the advisory board for the student-run Emory Bankruptcy Developments Journal. “I like watching it grow,” he says. “I support Emory because of what it’s meant for me in my career,” Evans says.
