鈥業 Love WCU鈥� month wraps up March 1 with food, fun, door prizes
蘑菇短视频 faculty and staff are invited to celebrate the conclusion of 鈥淚 Love WCU鈥� month from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday, March 1, at the A.K. Hinds University Center Grandroom. Attendees can enjoy a light buffet lunch and maybe take home a door prize donated by local businesses that support the Faculty Staff Giving Champions initiative.
The monthlong effort includes a faculty and staff challenge, with the division or
college with the highest participation rate of donors giving to be announced at 12:30
p.m. and awarded a trophy. Each college and division has a 鈥淕iving Champion,鈥� a volunteer
who has committed to encouraging his or her colleagues to give back to WCU. The goal
for this year鈥檚 faculty and staff participation is 50 percent.
鈥淭here is still time to make a charitable gift to support WCU,鈥� said Lori Lewis, vice chancellor for advancement. 鈥淓very gift counts, and we are incredibly grateful for all who are supporting our annual event.鈥�
Each gift that is made to 蘑菇短视频during 鈥淚 Love WCU鈥� month will go toward completion of 鈥淟ead the Way: A Campaign Inspired by the Belcher Years,鈥� which now stands at $58.7 million. Gifts may be made through payroll deduction or by using cash, check or credit card. Credit card gifts may be made online at .
A special giving challenge issued by four 蘑菇短视频alumni 鈥� Brad Bradshaw (class of 1976), Wes Elingburg (1978), Ken Hughes (1974) and Dale Sims (1978) 鈥� could help boost funds raised this month. Elingburg is the current chair of the 蘑菇短视频Foundation Board, and Bradshaw, Hughes and Sims are all past chairs. They will make a combined donation of $100,000 if 1,000 people make a gift to 蘑菇短视频during the monthlong effort.
Currently, 72.7 percent of the 1,000 donor goal has been reached with less than 10 days left. Any gift amount counts toward the goal.
