UPDATE: Thank you so much! We met our $36,000 goal and with so much time left before midnight, we're rolling out another $10,000 challenge! The new total to reach is $46,000! And with $46,000 in matching funds, that's $92,000 for the Journey Scholarship Fund. Let's raise another $10,000 for student scholarships and impact students for a lifetime!
We have a day for giving thanks. We have two days for shopping deals. A few days later, we have #GivingTuesday, a global day of giving. Giving Tuesday kicks off the charitable season when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving. It is a day for individuals, communities and organizations around the world to unite for one common purpose: to celebrate and encourage giving to nonprofits.
All gifts to the Journey Scholarship Fund today are DOUBLED thanks to our generous lead donors: Kristi '88 & David Balk '86, Amy '88 & Mike Eilers '89, Mark '80 & Lori Ellingson '82, Julie '90 & John Fisher '87, Jeff Oliver '79, Kathy Sikkema '84, Phil '61 & Berta Van Ekeren '16H, Scott & Cindy Van Tasell, Don '61 & Diana Vogel '63 and anonymous benefactors.
The Journey Scholarship paves the way for students to experience Central. With your help, we can offer even more awards, helping current and incoming students pursue their dreams and experience everything Central has to offer. Over 99% of students receive financial aid meaning many students would not be at Central if not for the generosity of donors. Take a moment today and make your gift to show past, current and future students why Central is special!
Last year, we received more than $200,000 from gifts under $250! EVERY gift makes a lasting impact on Central students!
We've got spirit, yes we do, we've got spirit and so do you! Your generous support shows you believe in Central and in our students!
Every gift not only helps us get closer to our goal, but also opens doors to Central students for a lifetime!
You realize just how important the Central experience is and want more students to be able to afford a Central experience of their own. Your gift creates a lasting impact for generations to come!
A gift at this level provides an entire Journey Scholarship for a student! Because of YOU, a student is able to attend Central College! Thank you.
