This year Centenary's Giving Day was moved to Founders' Day on February 9th with massive success. The College received 117 donations totaling $181,921.
Centenary Giving Day now gives donors a chance to recognize the College’s nearly 200-year history while investing in its present and future. “Our first Giving Day coinciding with our Founders’ Day celebration was a huge success and reminded us all that the Centenary community is strong,” commented Fred Landry, vice president for development. “It is so humbling to see the amount of support we received to help advance the mission of Centenary.”
Supporters of the College participated in Centenary Giving Day by giving online, attending the annual Founders Day Convocation, enjoying a tailgate before the Gents basketball game, and they also participated in the Giving Day Basketball Challenge.
As a bonus, participants of the basketball challenge had a chance to win a signed Harlem Globetrotters jersey from Centenary alumnus and current Globetrotter, Travion Kirkendoll ‘18. Jennifer Arevalo ultimately took home the jersey!
