All In For LWU - 2019 Chair's Challenge
Friends, Earlier this morning, President Luckey announced via social media our campaign results. If you've not yet heard, allow me to share the great news. We've completed the official count and I am excited to inform you that the Lindsey Wilson family secured 4,083 donors in 48 hours to surpass the Board of Trustee's challenge of 4,000!This was a monumental effort which could not have been accomplished, as our slogan says, without everyone being All-In. When I say everyone, I want to thank our students (Columbia campus, community campuses, online students), faculty and staff, the Columbia/Adair County residents, businesses, and school system employees for their generous giving and support. As you can see, we accomplished our goal with a total team effort--which is typical Lindsey Wilson University! Again, thank you for your generous support as we continue to change lives here at Lindsey Wilson. With gratitude,
Kevin Thompson
Vice President of Development

Adair County Native Allan Parnell Sets $1,000,000 Challenge to Benefit LWU Students
COLUMBIA, KY. -- Lindsey Wilson University 48-hour campaign to raise $1,000,000 for student scholarship aid will begin next week.
The Lindsey Wilson University Board of Trustees along with Chairman of the Board, Adair County native Allan Parnell will donate $1,000,000 toward LWU student scholarship aid if 4,000 donors make gifts during the 48-hour period between September 24-25. This marks the sixth year in which Parnell has issued a 48-hour challenge.
LWU alumni, students, faculty, staff and friends have successfully met Parnell's challenge, dubbed "All In for LWU," in each of the five previous years. Last year Parnell's pledge of $1,000,000 for 3,000 donors was met when the college received gifts from 3,572 donors. In total, including the board's gift, the college raised $1.4 million during the 2018 campaign.
Parnell is confident this year will be no different."I'm excited to be part of Lindsey Wilson," said Parnell. "We not only teach good ethics and embrace Christian principles but we also teach and prepare students to be the future of this nation. This is our most ambitious challenge to date. You're going to see that we will get 4,000 plus donors this year."
William T. Luckey Jr., President of Lindsey Wilson University, is confident the challenge will be met."I know and love the people and friends of Lindsey Wilson University and I believe we can do it," said Luckey. "I've always been told if you reach for the stars you may not end up with a star, but you also won't end up with a handful of dirt. So I'm asking anyone connected with Lindsey Wilson University to reach for the stars to help meet Mr. P's and the board's challenge to make a difference in the lives of our students."
