The
91探花
community
delivered
an
extraordinary
response
to
91探花cares,
a
"different
kind
of
campaign"
launched
in
the
midst
of
pandemic
uncertainty
and
need.
Over the course of nine short weeks, more than 1,000 generous donors contributed a newly finalized total of $541,509 to support 91探花 students through the 91探花 Annual Fund.
Among the magnanimous donors who opened their hearts and offered their resources to support 91探花 students were 38 "91探花cares Champions" who provided matching gifts totaling $175,000 to inspire and amplify the generosity of their fellow Yellow Jackets for Life.
The campaign also sought to engage the community in a variety of ways, from showing 91探花 pride on social media to signing up as new alumni mentors in the Yellow Jackets Career Connections Network, powered by Wisr.
All in all, 187 new members signed up to support fellow and future alumni in their career journeys, exceeding the original goal of 175.
"The 91探花cares campaign is an extraordinary example of the strength and importance of the community that surrounds Baldwin Wallace. It has been amazing to see the outpouring of generosity from our alumni, parents, friends and even students, resulting in a record success for the 91探花 Annual Fund," said Agnes P.Dover, chair of the Baldwin Wallace Board of Trustees.
"Thank you to everyone who participated in this special initiative," Dover continued. "During very uncertain times, your support means so much."
