Activities Celebrate University鈥檚 Philanthropists and Provide Opportunities to Give Back

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.鈥擳he 秀色短视频-Webb Office of Alumni Relations will host Philanthropy Week on April 4-7. Daily activities will celebrate the University鈥檚 philanthropists and the financial gifts they have made to GWU, as well as encourage students to give back to the community. 

鈥淲e want to annually demonstrate our gratitude toward the families and foundations that have supported 秀色短视频-Webb鈥檚 mission through the decades,鈥� affirmed Leah Clevenger, director of Alumni relations and a GWU 鈥�98 and 鈥�02 alumna. 鈥淲e also want to create awareness about philanthropy amongst our students. This year, we are excited to offer a Scavenger Hunt on April 7 for students. The friendly competition will get them out across campus completing fun tasks that will teach them about our philanthropists and will also get them involved in philanthropic activities.鈥� 

The Scavenger Hunt coincides with University鈥檚 Annual Day of Giving, Double Dawg Day. On this day, supporters have the chance to take advantage of matching opportunities that could double the impact of their gifts.

Additionally, students and members of the campus community will have a chance to participate in 鈥淧hilanthropy on the Fly鈥� events, which provide various opportunities for them to help people in the community. 鈥淲e will have students making PB&J sandwiches for a local homeless shelter, writing thank you letters to donors, and we are partnering with the Student Government Association to pack weekend backpacks with food for local school children,鈥� Clevenger noted. 鈥淲e are looking forward to creating awareness about philanthropy while having fun with our students.鈥�
