David L. Chiang ’97 and Daniel H. O’Keefe ’97

David Chiang ’97 and Dan O’Keefe ’97 worked seamlessly together to lead the class of 1997 to heightened success, working diligently and ambitiously to promote and secure reunion multi-year pledges for their 25th Reunion Class Gift to the Brown Annual Fund. Chiang and O’Keefe were active and dedicated Honorary Co-Chair leaders on the 25th Reunion Gift Committee funding challenges, leading calls, and motivating committee volunteer solicitations. The result was the largest Reunion Class Gift to date, setting a new all-time Reunion Class Gift Record with over $5 million for the Brown Annual Fund. In honor of this achievement, we are delighted to honor Chiang and O’Keefe for a second time with the Brown Annual Fund Co-Chairs’ Award.
