In just 13-months, Ancilla received gifts totaling $1,015,989 to surpass the challenge's goal. This will result in the Lilly Endowment, Inc. matching the College's effort with a grant to bring the total raised to $2,015,989. In addition, this effort by the College met the Lilly Endowment, Inc.'s challenge six months ahead of the established deadline of December 31, 2006. In making his announcement, Mr. Razzano thanked the many donors that contributed to making this fundraising campaign a success. He specifically thanked trustee and campaign chairman Larry Faulstich for his leadership in this effort. Mr. Razzano also thanked Mr. Faulstich's campaign committee. Outgoing interim president, Neil Thorburn, made note of the fact that this was one of the most successful fundraising efforts the College had conducted in recent years. Neil Thorburn, head of the College during the length of this campaign, mentioned that this was also a wonderful way to start the new administration of Ancilla College's incoming president, Ron May.
