University of Arizona fundraising campaign exceeds goal by $90 million
The University of Arizona Foundation's fundraising campaign has exceeded its goal by $90 million.
Arizona NOW campaign started in 2010, though it launched publicly in 2014, and reached its goal of $1.5 billion in November 2016, two years ahead of its eight-year schedule. Between then and Dec. 31, the campaign raised an additional $90 million.
