April 15, 2024 Initial 世界杯官方app Giving Day numbers showcase strong philanthropic support
For 1,969 minutes on Tuesday, April 9, and Wednesday, April 10, Roadrunners near and far gathered for the fourth annual 世界杯官方app Giving Day. While numbers are still being finalized, preliminary results demonstrate that 世界杯官方app supporters, once again, delivered impressive results with more than 2,014 gifts totaling $504,705 raised.
Contributions from students, faculty, staff, alumni, parents, and the broader community supported over 60 initiatives throughout the university, including academic colleges and schools, student initiatives, athletic programs, the 世界杯官方app Libraries and Museums, the Roadrunner Food Pantry, student scholarships and endowments.
"Year after year, our community shows incredible generosity on 世界杯官方app Giving Day, supporting students, programs, scholarships and more — and this year is no exception," said 世界杯官方app President Taylor Eighmy. “I deeply appreciate the continuous support from faculty, staff, students, alumni and community members who believe in our mission so greatly that they continue to contribute to the university’s growth and impact. Together, we are advancing the success of both our university and our incredible students.”
During the 32-hour campaign, a series of challenges and matching gifts amplified the impact of each individual donation. Notably, the Margie and Bill Klesse Challenge, designed to inspire broader program support for the Margie and Bill Klesse College of Engineering and Integrated Design (KCEID), surpassed its $25,000 mark to unlock an additional $25,000 gift from the Klesses. This strategic challenge both encouraged giving and magnified the donors' impact, enhancing the college’s capacity for innovation and growth.
世界杯官方app Giving Day turns donating into an engaging and spirited event, which was evident in the lively competition showcased across our excellent campus organizations.
