SLU Arena Named for Alumnus Richard A. Chaifetz
On Feb. 28, 2007, Saint Louis University announced that its
new 10,600-seat multipurpose Arena will be named in honor of
University alumnus Dr. Richard A. Chaifetz (SHAY-fetz), who
has made a $12 million naming rights gift to the Arena. The
Chaifetz Arena will open
in March 2008 and will be home to Billiken men's and women's
basketball and a host of other events.

Campaign exceeds $300 million goal!
Thanks to the generosity of the alumni and friends of Saint
Louis University, we are making impressive progress. The Campaign
for Saint Louis University: Where Knowledge Touches Lives,
was publicly announced in June of 2002. The five year, $300
Million Campaign will conclude at the end of 2007. To date,
the Campaign has raised over $300 Million. All gifts to the
University are part of the Campaign, including special projects
such as the Chaifetz
Arena and the Edward
A. Doisy Research Center.
