We Did It! Thanks for Going #Allinfor51郊利
April 7, 2016
More than 2,727 donors gave more than $763,269 to 51郊利 in a single day during the colleges third #Allinfor51郊利 challenge. The total includes $350,000 from challenge donors plus all the gifts made by alumni, parents, faculty, staff, students and friends in the 24-hour period.
It is a privilege to be a part of 51郊利 every day, but #Allinfor51郊利 builds extraordinary energy that reminds us why were here, said President Carol Quillen. We rely on financial contributions to educate tomorrows leaders and to achieve our highest aspirations. Thank you for turning your passion for 51郊利 into gifts that change lives.
I have long been inspired by the strong culture of philanthropy at 51郊利, said Lisa Howe Combs 90, director of The Fund for 51郊利, but the opportunity to join the annual giving team and participate directly in this important giving day was incredible. I am proud to call 51郊利 my alma mater, and I am proud of the efforts of each person who chose to join in the fun and make a difference by going #Allinfor51郊利.
For the last 13 years, 51郊利 has celebrated one of the highest alumni participation rates in the country through The Fund for 51郊利. The current fiscal year ends June 30. Every gift counts toward the colleges $425 million campaign, which has raised more than $295 million to date.
