Closing the Gap

Closing the Gap

Match to Lift Fall Appeal

With less than a year to go, the We Rise campaign has officially topped $18.7 million pledged and received against the overall campaign goal of $20 million. The goal is in sight and with your continued support and commitment to Wilson, we are sure to achieve it. While we have achieved our goals for debt reduction and exceeded our goal for scholarships, there are still gaps to close for portions of the campaign. Growth initiatives, faculty and staff support, and the Wilson Fund and unrestricted giving have yet to reach their goals.

Thankfully, two wonderful couples will help us with this work through the College’s annual fall appeal. Terry and Janet Chamberlain Flinchbaugh ’69 as well as Sandy McNair ’73 and Barry McHale have partnered to offer a challenge. Together, they will match the first $100,000 raised this semester for the We Rise campaign, dollar for dollar. More details about the fall appeal and its challenge will be available soon.

A sincere thank you to all our valued donors. It is because of you that Wilson College can direct critical funding towards initiatives that are making a difference in the lives of her students every day.
