Our donors speak: “Why I give”

Charles and Peggy Spitz “Our KU education opened doors for us. We decided once we had enough money we would establish two scholarships and also give to other parts of the university. We give to the Greater KU Fund so those at KU who have the knowledge can put it to best use. We think more people should give.”
— Charles Spitz, architecture ’72, and Peggy Spitz, occupational therapy ’70

The Spitzes, of Wall Township, N.J., give $1,000 annually to the Greater KU Fund, which gains them recognition as Chancellors Club members. The Greater KU Fund provides support for scholarships, faculty and key academic programs that might otherwise go unfunded. The Spitzes also have established an architecture scholarship and provided support for the School of Architecture and Urban Planning, the Department of Occupational Therapy, the Williams Fund and the KU Alumni Association. Both have received alumnus of the year awards from the areas where they took their degrees.
