Donors make a difference with more than 3,500 gifts
Alumni, parents, students, faculty, staff and friends came together yesterday to make more than 3,500 gifts to Dickinson on Day of Giving, shattering the day’s goal of 3,000 gifts. Together, the community raised more than $1.6 million to enhance scholarships, academic programs, athletics, research and more.
The day included more than 25 successful donor-established challenges that enabled community members to double or even triple the impact of their gifts. Together, those challenges provided an additional $400,000 in funding for everything from faculty research to the McAndrews Fund for Athletics.
“Dickinson is a special place because of the people,” said Dickinson President John E. Jones ’77, P’11, who sponsored the day’s Faculty Research Challenge with his wife, Beth. “Day of Giving represents an opportunity for Dickinson’s huge community to give our students a world-class education, and year after year they step up.”
