Frequently Asked Questions:

Looks like we have raised more than $60,000, so are we are done fundraising?

No. We were able to guarantee our pledge of $25,000 with the funds raised in the days leading and during to the 25th Year reunion. (See presentation below). We increase our goal to 60,000 for the PANAC 30th Reunion. We now have a new goal to raise $70,000 for 7 Jewels.

Kenneth Robinson, Convener of PANAC, and members of Professor Clarence L.B. Addison's Family present the $25,000 check to Ms. Ann Smith, Director of Alumni Giving of the Clemson Fund at the PANAC Reunion Dinner on Saturday, February 16, 2008.However, we need to fulfill those pledges and continue to raise funds to increase the amount of the scholarship we can award.

Who has already given?

How else are we planning to raise funds?

PANAC Leadership may consider future events maybe planned to support the endowment. The Midnite Cruise 06 raised funds for the Endowment and was held by DC Area Pi Alumni Brothers in Summer 2006. The event was an extremely successful effort. PANAC thanks all friends of Pi Alpha or Clemson who supported the event.

Please check this website for more information as it becomes available.
