Over $4m in donations are needed to make the kitchen and dining room project financially feasible. “We’ve been thrilled with the level of generous support from alumni, parents and major donors,” said Ruth-Ann Shantz, who chairs the Fundraising Advisory. In fact, 45 of the targeted 50 “Tables” (at $6,000) have been filled, and 15 of 17 “Pillars” (at $15,000) have been funded. These gifts and pledges, along with other donations, have pushed the campaign to almost $3.9m of the $4m goal.
“At this point it is functionally a $100,000 campaign,” said Director of Advancement Fred W. Martin. “Small donations can make a huge difference to close the gap, and, if we reached our target of 200 “Trays” ($1,000), we would exceed our goal.” He reminds donors it is a three-year campaign, and setting up online monthly donations of $28 for 36 months will get you a “Tray.” Donors will be recognized on a feature piece on the wall between the atrium and the dining room.
