Record-setting Crisafi Challenge raises nearly $140,000 for student scholarships

The 2019 Crisafi Challenge was one for the record books, as alumni and friends of the University of Florida College of Pharmacy generously gave a record $139,357 in total commitments for student scholarships. Included in the final total is a $50,000 gift from Bob Crisafi, Ph.D., ’56, who challenged supporters to match and exceed his donation during a 10-day period. More than 180 individuals committed gifts in 2019, making the fifth year of the Crisafi Challenge the most successful yet.Crisafi Challenge

Dr. Bob created the challenge to help the UF College of Pharmacy recruit the best and brightest pharmacy students and in five years the challenge has raised more than $435,000 for student scholarships.
