Giving Tuesday 2020
THANK YOU!
Thank you for making #GivingTuesday 2020 a great success for McKendree University!
In just 24 hours, the University received 551 gifts, exceeding the goal of 501 to
unlock $25,000 for the University's Annual Fund. The University was able to raise
$126,744.44 total in the short period of time.
Along with that, two other challenges were also met by the McKendree community! $1,000
was matched by Chris Hall, vice president for admission and financial aid, for all
gifts made to the Annual Fund between 1 p.m. – 4 p.m. on #GivingTuesday. $500 was
given to the Story with the most First Time Givers on #GivingTuesday by President
Dobbins. The winner of the First Time Giver Challenge was the Hettenhausen Center
for the Arts!
This was also the largest #GivingTuesday in dollars raised for the University to date. Thank you for your support, Bearcats!
You rock!
The McKendree community is filled with overwhelming gratitude that so many took a
moment to give back this year. At a time when we are all experiencing challenges,
generosity is what brings us together. This support will create countless opportunities
for our students, faculty and staff as they face a school year unlike any other.
Thank you again for joining the #GivingTuesday 2020 movement and remembering McKendree
during the holiday season.
Together we can do extraordinary things. Together we are #OneMcKendree.
