When Bob Holm graduated from Ohio Wesleyan in 1960, the Annual Fund goal stood at a modest $200,000. His mentor at the time insisted it would never increase.

Decades later, as vice president for university relations, he tossed balloons out the Mowry Alumni office window and celebrated Ohio Wesleyan’s first $1 million milestone.

When he retired in 2003, the Annual Fund had transformed into a multi-million-dollar engine of opportunity.
