An Additional $300 Won Thanks to Our Donors!!

December 05, 2016

We are excited to share that the Annual Giving Organization at the university has awarded our Launch campaign an additional $300 for gaining the most amount of donors this past week. This would not have been possible without the generosity and support of so many different people! We were able to gain over 90 different donors to our cause, and because of that we are extremely grateful. 

We are already 87% towards reaching our goal. With 10 more days remaining, we are confident we will be able to succeed! 

More than 50% to our Goal!

November 28, 2016

Hello everyone!! This is our first update, and we just wanted to thank everyone so far for their donations and support! Every dollar counts, and we are so appreciative for the help we have received from over 70 different donors! We hope to keep our momentum going as we enter the second half of our campaign. Please continue to share and spread the word so we can reach our goal of $4,000! 

Thank you so much!!
