The final numbers are in, and this year’s Lindsey Wilson University “All In” campaign saw a double-digit percentage increase in support.
A total of 2,760 individuals, businesses and organizations made a gift to Lindsey Wilson’s 48-hour campaign, which was held Sept. 23-24. That is an 18% percent increase over last year’s participation, according to Lindsey Wilson Vice President for Advancement Kevin A. Thompson.
“A big reason Lindsey Wilson had another great ‘All In’ was because of tremendous grassroots support,” said Thompson. “Area residents and local businesses are incredibly supportive of this university throughout the year, and that showed during this year’s ‘All In’ campaign.”
Lindsey Wilson raised more than $838,000 during this year’s “All In” campaign. Money raised will be used to support a wide range of student needs, including scholarships, academic programs and cocurricular enrichment opportunities.
