About Gray Fund

The Gray Fund was founded by Betty Gray in 1992 to enrich students’ lives outside the classroom. The programs bring students, faculty, and staff together to enjoy cultural, social, recreational, and outdoor activities both on- and off-campus. The goal behind every Gray Fund event is for Reed community members to have fun in a substance-free environment.
