It's Time to Do Something BIG! |
|
For the next 24 hours, beginning at noon today, Wednesday, March 22, you will have a chance to do something BIG to make a difference in the lives of Capital University students!
The entire University community – main campus, Trinity Lutheran Seminary, Law School, and Capital Athletics – will participate in the first university-wide Day of Giving.
Through noon tomorrow, Thursday, March 23, members of the Capital Family can make a gift to support the specific annual fund and/or Athletic booster fund that means the most to them personally.
A gift during the Day of Giving means all Capital students – undergraduate and graduate – can have an unmatched student experience.
When donors support the areas of greatest need and top priorities, they support the bigger picture of the Capital student experience. The student experience is leadership, education, friendship, and community. It's unique to everyone, and it cannot continue without the support of students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends like you!
#BeRadiant with us! Go to www.capital.edu/be-radiant and see how the community's collective impact can make a difference in continuing to build the legacy of Capital for generations to come.
For more information, contact Elinor Fortescue, director of Annual Giving Programs, at efortescue@capital.edu.
