Some 1,580 donors came together, surpassing the goal of 1,200 donors, to raise over $275,000, once again making Day of Giving an unprecedented success and exceeding last years totals by 432 donors and more than $50,000. The final numbers will be available soon as outstanding gift commitments are confirmed. Scholarships, student-support services, athletics and various programs received the financial boost needed to unlock new levels of student success for years to come.

Everyone puts in so much hard work during the months leading up to Day of Giving, said Bre Milnes, executive director of Advancement Communications and Annual Giving. It wouldnt be possible to reach these heights without our collaborative Roadrunner spirit.
