Giving Tuesday

November 29, 2016

Thank you so much for donating to the Student Emergency Fund! We could not provide the services that we do without all of you.  

As you may know, today is Giving Tuesday.  It's a day after the spending holiday to give back to the community. We ask that on this day you share this HornRaiser campaign with your networks and encourage giving to the Student Emergency Fund.  

Thank you to all who have donated since our last update!

First week!

November 07, 2016

Wow! We are so excited to have received $600 our first week!  Thank you so much for your support.  It means so much to us and the students who are supported by the Student Emergency Fund.  We encourage you to share across your social media platforms.  We need your support to meet our goal. 

Here is a testimonial about what our Student Emergency Fund means to those who receive it: "This organization really helped me when I needed it most; I was able to eat because of this fund! I will always be grateful with a spot in my heart for this place that cares about students' wellbeing and success. Thank you!"

Thank you donors who contributed this week!
