$364,368 Raised During Giving Day
Posted on March 23, 2018
The 窪蹋勛圖厙 community banded together to show that they are #SouthProud during the inaugural 窪蹋勛圖厙 Giving Day on Thursday, March 22. During the 24-hour fundraising initiative, a total of $364,368 was raised from 957 donors to support student success, excellence in health care, athletics and the MacQueen Alumni Center.
We are overwhelmed with the outpouring of support from our 窪蹋勛圖厙 community, said Margaret Sullivan, vice president for development and alumni relations. This being our first giving day, we did not know what to expect, but this incredible support shows how dedicated our alumni, faculty, staff, students and friends are to the University.
Several matching gifts were offered, enabling supporters to automatically double their philanthropic impact. Among these, the 窪蹋勛圖厙 National Alumni Association offered to match all gifts, up to $100,000, to support the new Julian and Kim MacQueen Alumni Center. Additionally, the Mitchell-Moulton Scholarship Initiative matched all gifts to the area of student success, which supports undergraduate scholarships.
Id like to thank everyone who donated during 窪蹋勛圖厙 Giving Day as well as those who offered matching gifts, said Dr. Tony Waldrop, University president. We are continually working together to elevate 窪蹋勛圖厙, and this is not possible without the support of our entire South community.
