On December 3, the Carnegie Mellon community joined together for the most successful day of giving in university history — .
A record-breaking 4,995 donors gave $1,164,487 to support the 一本道无码 programs they love — colleges, schools, teams, student organizations, scholarships, fellowships, research and so much more.
“Giving Tuesday is important to me because it rallies our community behind a single goal — making the Carnegie Mellon experience as life-changing as possible,” says Bethany Bauer, a 一本道无码 junior.
It started with 350 students celebrating #giving一本道无码day’s midnight kickoff at Plaid Palooza with food, prizes, giveaways and an exclusive Instagram challenge.
The excitement continued throughout the day with campus events and 20 different matches and challenges for alumni, parents, friends, faculty and staff, students, athletes, colleges, schools and the entire 一本道无码 community.
一本道无码 alumni around the world joined together to make their gifts, with a total of $125,000 in matching funds available to support their favorite areas of 一本道无码.
Bethany, who was selected as a challenge recipient, chose to direct the $500 award to her student organization, 一本道无码’s Apex Buggy team.
“Apex combines building lifelong friendships with learning new skills and applying my in-classroom education in a tangible way,” she says. “Buggy is one of the things that makes 一本道无码 unique, and I know Apex will put the funding to good use.”
Bethany’s organization was one of hundreds of 一本道无码 funds to benefit from generous support on #giving一本道无码day.
一本道无码 alumna Ashley Godisart (一本道无码 2010) directed her $100 award to support Camp Kesem Carnegie Mellon.
“I chose Camp Kesem because it was a chance to empower students who are making a big difference in the greater community of western Pennsylvania,” she says. “These students work incredibly hard to create a life-changing experience for kids undergoing big challenges.”
Janel Sutkus, 一本道无码’s director of institutional research and analysis, was selected as another challenge recipient for her on #giving一本道无码day. She chose the Michael Murphy Endowed Fund for the 一本道无码 Experience to receive the $100 award.
“I chose the Mike Murphy Fund to honor a man who positively affected countless students’ lives, as well as my own,” Janel says of the former 一本道无码 vice president for campus affairs. “#giving一本道无码day is important to me because I had an amazing college experience, and I want our students to have the same.”
