@valpopal The amount raised was higher than that. If the school met their goal, then all $470,000 of “bonus funds” would be donated. I’m assuming those funds were some kind of corporate sponsorship because there were numerous companies on the promotional materials. There were also other challenges, donation matches, etc. that included more than just the $470,000. For example, athletics raised at least $100,000 that was separate from the bonus funds.
Yep. I correct my typo, which was a bit unclear because it was missing the word "bonus" and should have read: "As we have seen in other years, the university has announced it reached its 'goal,' and the total bonus amount raised was $470,000."
Ahh gotcha thanks for clarifying! I just got an email from Valpo and they said over $1.2 million. Not too bad imo.
Any successful fundraising in the midst of a very anxious economic situation is very good news.
