Posted on March 23, 2018
The 小蝌蚪APP community banded together to show that they are #SouthProud during the inaugural USA Giving Day on Thursday, March 22. During the 24-hour fundraising initiative, a total of $364,368 was raised from 957 donors to support student success, excellence in health care, athletics and the MacQueen Alumni Center.
鈥淲e are overwhelmed with the outpouring of support from our USA community,鈥 said Margaret Sullivan, vice president for development and alumni relations. 鈥淭his being our first giving day, we did not know what to expect, but this incredible support shows how dedicated our alumni, faculty, staff, students and friends are to the University.鈥
Several matching gifts were offered, enabling supporters to automatically double their philanthropic impact. Among these, the USA National Alumni Association offered to match all gifts, up to $100,000, to support the new Julian and Kim MacQueen Alumni Center. Additionally, the Mitchell-Moulton Scholarship Initiative matched all gifts to the area of student success, which supports undergraduate scholarships.
鈥淚鈥檇 like to thank everyone who donated during USA Giving Day as well as those who offered matching gifts,鈥 said Dr. Tony Waldrop, University president. 鈥淲e are continually working together to elevate USA, and this is not possible without the support of our entire South community.鈥
