Philanthopy Week

Did you know? Donors make a difference!

Mount Union’s inaugural Philanthropy Week will take place November 12-16, 2018 in conjunction with National Philanthropy Day (November 15). Hosted by The Mount Union Fund, Philanthropy Week celebrates the generosity of Mount Union donors, while building awareness and a culture of philanthropy on campus.

Thank a Donor Day gives students the opportunity to send a big thank you to donors for playing a role in their education! Make sure to stop in to express your gratitude for our donor family!

By participating in Thank a Donor Day, you also can help win your student organization $500 for things like programming and leadership development. All you have to do is stop by the table to write a quick note of thanks to one of our Mount Union Fund donors.

Friday, November 16 | Faculty and Staff Appreciation Day

Did you know? 73% of Mount Union faculty and staff support student education with gifts to The Mount Union Fund each year!

Stop by to pick up a Purple Pin, and “pin it forward” by gifting that pin to an employee wearing their Mount Union Fund shirt to say, “Thank You!”

When we come together, we ALL make a difference!

As a responsible citizen, I feel an obligation to help those who are less fortunate or even temporarily in need of assistance. It is meaningful to me. It is also extremely important that my husband and I pass these same values on to our children.

Being involved both academically and socially was natural because it was such a tight-knit environment. As a result, I was much more inclined to meet difficult challenges head-on post-graduation than I was when I started at Mount Union.

I do my best to attend as many football games as possible. It is fun to watch and support the program from a different perspective; Once a Raider, always a Raider.

I have had the honor of serving as a trustee of the University, which has allowed me to participate in so many events on and off campus; sporting events, performances, exhibits and lectures. I am looking forward to joining the alumni trip to Europe with the choir in 2015.
