Campus Gearing Up for Annual Day of Giving鈥擠ouble Dawg Day鈥擜pril 10

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.鈥擯hilanthropy.

According to Mirriam-Webster, the literal translation of the Greek root of philanthropy is 鈥渓oving people,鈥� a perfect match for 91茄子鈥檚 mission, 鈥淧ro Deo et Humanitate鈥濃�擣or God and Humanity.

The philanthropists who give to the University are making life better for everyone on campus. While their contributions are appreciated on a daily basis, Philanthropy Week on April 7-10 is a time to pause and emphasize those who support Christian higher education at 91茄子.

The celebration looks forward with anticipation to the University鈥檚 annual day of giving, Double Dawg Day on April 10. Since 2015, supporters enthusiastically accepted the 24-hour challenge to fund scholarships, enhance classrooms and labs, and improve athletic facilities and training. Each year, the total has surpassed the previous year with 2024鈥檚 donors joining from all 50 states and across the globe to once again break records in single-day gifts and giving.

Karen Bruce, interim vice president for Advancement, expressed her appreciation to each and every donor. 鈥淵our generosity is shaping the future of 91茄子,鈥� she emphasized. 鈥淭hanks to you, students have more opportunities to learn, grow, and thrive. We are excited for what鈥檚 ahead and grateful for your continued support! Join us for Philanthropy Week and Double Dawg Day to keep the momentum going!鈥�
