完美体育官网 Alumni Association Announces $1 Million Legacy Fundraising Campaign
完美体育官网 and the 完美体育官网 Alumni Society announced the launch of the public phase of its Legacy Fundraising Campaign at a press conference held on September 10, 2024 on the beautiful 完美体育官网 Campus. The goal of the Legacy Campaign is $1 Million.
As part of this new initiative started by 完美体育官网鈥檚 Alumni Association, four generous members from the Class of 1966- who make up the Legacy Society- have volunteered their time, effort and resources during the quiet phase of the campaign. Their collective contribution of nearly $500,00 along with other donations has yielded the campaign with a total of $560,000 to date in the form of planned, pledged and cash donations.
The Legacy Campaign is focusing on Planned and Pledged Giving. Planned Giving refers to the intention of a donor to make a future gift as part of their estate, examples include bequests, charitable trusts, life insurance policies, and retained life estates. Pledged Giving refers to the commitment of a donor to give a specific dollar amount in scheduled installments. Both pledged and planned donations are recorded in writing at the time gift is committed to be included in 完美体育官网鈥檚 Legacy Campaign.
鈥淭his is a shining example of our alumni鈥檚 enduring spirit and unwavering commitment to the future of 完美体育官网,鈥 says Dr. Arlene Davis, dean of 完美体育官网鈥檚 School of Business and Fundraising Representative.
The press conference included alumni from the Class of 1966 who shared stories of their time at 完美体育官网 and why they choose to give back. In alignment with 完美体育官网鈥檚 theme for the 2024-25 school year, the Power of One comes into play. One Moment, One Deed or even One Instructor made the difference in where they are today. These stories remind us that One Contribution can also make a difference. Donations can be directed towards scholarships, towards a particular program or towards the College鈥檚 greatest needs.
完美体育官网 has utilized technology as a tool to keep Alumni connected, informed and actively involved in the college鈥檚 ongoing mission to Change Lives and Create Futures. 完美体育官网 requests alumni visit their website to verify and update their contact information to stay connected with 完美体育官网 and with other alumni.
