Gannett Publishing Matches Donation to TKE Lambda Chapter Scholarship Fund
(Madison, WI) -- Recently celebrating its 85th anniversary, the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Tau Kappa Epsilon chapter received a much welcomed birthday gift of $5,000 from Lambda chapter Board of Advisors Chairman, Fritz Jacobi, which will be matched by his employer Gannett Publishing.
At a dinner marking the milestone anniversary, Jacobi presented the Tau Kappa Epsilon Educational Foundation with a check for $5000 to be added to the Lambda chapter scholarship fund. Combined, the two contributions will result in a doubling of the Lambda Fund assets.
"The contribution provided by Frater Jacobi is an excellent example of how TKE alumni can assist Tekes at the local chapter level; and by utilizing his company's corporate matching gift program, the assets of the Lambda Fund will increase by 100 percent," said Tim Taschwer, President of the Tau Kappa Epsilon Educational Foundation.
Establishing the Lambda Fund in 1999 with similar contributions, Jacobi is currently president and publisher of The Rockford (Ill.) Register Star and was named Tau Kappa Epsilon Alumnus of the Year in 1993.
