Kalmanovitz Charitable Foundation Gift Highlights King Hall's Outstanding Fundraising Year

A gift of $500,000 from the Kalmanovitz Charitable Foundation contributed to another highly successful fundraising year for UC Davis School of Law, which received more than $1.7 million in private support during fiscal 2015-16.

The new gift of $500,000, which will endow a scholarship at King Hall, is the latest in a series of generous contributions from the Kalmanovitz Charitable Foundation, which supported the King Hall Expansion and Renovation project with naming gifts to the Kalmanovitz Appellate Courtroom and Kalmanovitz Seminar Room. The Foundation's support came about largely through the efforts of Yeoryios C. Apallas '72, who facilitated the gifts.

The recently closed fiscal year also saw another generous gift from longtime supporters Mark Perry '80 and Melanie Pena , who gave more than $160,000 to support the Dean's Discretionary Fund and the Family Protection and Legal Assistance Clinic.  The School of Law also received new scholarship support from Beth Inadomi '85 and James T. Lim '98.   

More than 1,100 total donors contributed to the School of Law during fiscal 2015-16, including 100 percent of King Hall faculty and Alumni Board members.
