Double Your Gift on Giving Tuesday!

Wow! We are so excited to announce Central College has raised just over $100,000 during Giving Tuesday to support student scholarships. Thank you to our amazing donors and friends for helping us get this far. With thanks to you and your incredible generosity, we’ve had a donor who was moved and inspired to help us raise additional support for students.

Penny and Steve '83 Sikkink have donated $5,000 and are challenging our community to raise an additional $5,000 by 5 p.m. today!

Help us keep the momentum going!

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 will be DOUBLED, up to $50,000, thanks to our generous lead donors: Jim 10H and Eunice Vander Zyl Van Tuyl 68Diane and Rick Hickman ’73, Dave ’86 and Kristi Jaarsma Balk ’88,  Mike Main ’87, Sonia and Mark Konrad ’94 and Aaron ’97 and Lisa Vander Wilt Shileny ’98, as well as other anonymous, generous donors. 

 

The Journey Scholarship paves the way for students to experience Central. With your help, we can offer even more scholarships, helping current and incoming students pursue their dreams and experience everything Central has to offer. Many students would not be at Central without the generosity of donors. Take a moment today and make your gift to show current and future students why Central is special!
