Dear Harding Alumni,
The “season of giving” is upon us and as you start to think of how you can be charitable this year, consider the gift of scholarship. It’s a different way of giving back and can leave a legacy for years to come. For me, this time of year is when I think back to a gift that changed my life forever.
During my senior year of high school, I was awarded a scholarship that dramatically changed the course of my life. And to this day, I still feel an overwhelming sense of thanks. I was extremely fortunate to receive funds that helped me pursue my college dreams and achieve my academic goals. This remarkable act of kindness helped me succeed professionally and become the person I am today.
Helping a deserving student achieve their dreams is one of the best gifts you can give. I encourage you to consider the unique gift of scholarship for your year-end contribution, because of the long-term, profound impact it can make.
This year, the Harding Alumni Association is hosting an event to help us raise funds for Scholarships - Jingle & Mingle. All proceeds from this event will go to a deserving student at Harding Fine Arts Academy.
You can purchase your ticket online using the link below or become a sponsor. Please contact Shannon Mckenrick-Okou, Director of Development, for more information on how to become a sponsor.
Scholarships make a real difference in the lives of hardworking students. They can help lessen the financial strain of school and help students concentrate on the most important thing: learning. Small donations can add up to make a real difference and any gift, regardless of how big or small, can have an impact and inspire others to donate in the future.
I encourage everyone to consider the impact that a scholarship fund could make in the life of a student. Scholarship funding is truly a gift that keeps on giving for years to come.
With the Harding Spirit,
