All In For LWC - 2018 Chair's Challenge
3,572 Donors in a 48-Hour Period With Gifts Nearing $1.4 Million
Campaign Update: President Luckey sent the following email to the LWC community at 12:45 p.m. CT on Sept. 13, 2018.Friends,
I want to give you an update on the All In For LWC Chair's Challenge. You will recall that Mr. P, Allan Parnell, and five other trustees, promised to give $1,000,000 to the college if we could generate 3,000 donors in a 48-hour window. Our goal last year was 2,500 donors.
I am pleased to report that with the generous support of so many of our faculty, staff, students, friends, and trustees, we ended the campaign with 3,572 donors and nearly $1.4 million! Since the Chair's Challenge began in 2014, the number of donors has increased by 2,912 and the total dollars raised has increased over $1.2 million - simply amazing! Many thanks to our student callers, our development staff and all of you who supported the college through your gifts and spreading the challenge to your friends. We also want to express our sincere gratitude to the local businesses and to the Adair County community for their generous support. Finally, none of this would have been possible without the incredible generosity of our board of trustees and the leadership of Chairman Allan Parnell and his wife, Bunny.Thanks to all of you for being "All In For LWC!"
