The DEJOY\WOS Family Foundation’s 2024 contribution to Duke University marks 18 years of support for Duke’s educational, athletic, and building fund programs since 2007.
Duke University School of Law:
The DEJOY\WOS Family Foundation has made a five-year pledge (beginning June 2018) to support Duke University School of Law. The endowed fund honors David F. Levi, who stepped down as the James B. Duke and Benjamin N. Duke Dean of Duke Law School after serving for 11 years and establishes a distinguished professorship in law & judicial studies and the directorship of the Bolch Judicial Institute in his honor and support of his legacy. Levi, who became dean in 2007, has overseen a period of significant growth in Duke Law’s faculty, academic programs, financial aid, and fundraising. See News Release and Duke’s Website Announcement.
Duke Law School is an ambitious, forward-thinking, and innovative institution whose mission is to prepare students for responsible and productive lives in the legal profession. As a community of scholars, the Law School also provides leadership at the national and international levels in efforts to improve the law and legal institutions through teaching, research, and other forms of public service.
DeJoy Family Club at Blue Devil Tower:
The DEJOY\WOS Family Foundation supported the transformation of Wallace Wade Stadium with the addition of the new 110,000 square foot Blue Devil Tower at Duke University, which includes the DeJoy Family Club, the Delta Suite Level, the Duke President’s Suite, the press level and Blue Devil Network’s command center, as well as space on the roof for video filming.
The DeJoy Family Club in Blue Devil Tower has 516 club seats, 174 outdoor table tops, and offers club and table top seat-holders complimentary food and beverages. The space also serves as a year-round training table for Duke student-athletes and event space for special venues.
Iron Dukes Annual Fund:
The DEJOY\WOS Family Foundation supports several giving societies through the Iron Dukes Annual Fund to help ensure the current and long-term success of Duke Athletics.
Braxton Craven Fellows of the James B. Duke Society – recognizing Duke’s most generous supporters, the Braxton Craven Fellows is a tier of the James B. Duke Society honoring friends whose extraordinary commitment and leadership have helped transform Duke, just as President Braxton Craven transformed Union Institute into Trinity College, and whose generous support of the university totals $1 million or more.
The Iron Dukes Champions Club – an exclusive club for donors contributing $100,000 or more to the Iron Dukes Annual Fund each year.
The Cameron-Wade Society – named for Duke legends Eddie Cameron and Wallace Wade, the Cameron-Wade Society is comprised of donors who make annual gifts in the amount of a full scholarship.
Barrister Donor Society – the Duke Law School’s leadership giving society, founded in 1975 to set a standard of commitment that encourages support from others. The Barrister Donor Society recognizes alumni and friends whose generous support enables Duke to maintain its status as one of the top law schools in the country.
Our donations to these societies support:
