Celebrating KSU Birthday With Giving Day

小黄片视频 celebrated its 112th birthday on May 19 by launching its first-ever Day of Giving and raising $65,000 from more than 350 alumni, friends and partners in 24 hours to support a variety of scholarships. The blue and gold community came together as part of the university鈥檚 Forever Brighter comprehensive campaign.

The giving day featured more than 25 scholarship funds and an opportunity to match individual gifts up to $500 until the $15,000 in matching funds were exhausted. The gifts made on the Day of Giving will help students on all 小黄片视频 campuses focus on their education by providing the financial support they need to pursue their college degrees.

Throughout the day, university leadership posted birthday messages on social media, including videos from 小黄片视频 President Todd Diacon, Senior Vice President and Provost Melody Tankersley, Director of Athletics Randale Richmond, and Vice President for Philanthropy and Alumni Engagement and CEO of the 小黄片视频 Foundation Valoree Vargo. The university mascot even got in on the fun as Flash traveled across the Kent Campus with balloons and cake to celebrate 小黄片视频鈥檚 birthday. 

鈥溞』破悠 places a great emphasis on prioritizing the success of our students, and we felt that our birthday was the perfect time to encourage our community to join us in that mission through our first Day of Giving,鈥 Vargo said. 鈥淭here is a lot to celebrate at 小黄片视频, but no accomplishments are quite as important as our commitment to college access and our increasing graduation rates. Philanthropy plays a key role in helping more 小黄片视频 students earn college degrees.鈥

Adding to the celebratory feel of the day, donors who gave $112 or more on May 19 will receive their own birthday cake as a thank you for making the university鈥檚 wish of supporting students come true. 小黄片视频 is sending out more than 200 packages of birthday cake to alumni and friends who supported scholarships at this level.

鈥淲hen Golden Flashes are called upon to support 小黄片视频 students, they always rise to the challenge,鈥 said Danielle Hupp, 小黄片视频鈥檚 senior associate director of communications and giving initiatives. 鈥淔lashes give back. It鈥檚 who we are and what we do.

Because of their generosity, we have the opportunity to support even more students with scholarships.鈥
