5/15 DAY OF GIVING
Cedarville was given a huge challenge: If we as a University could raise
$51,500 in a single day — May 15, a generous donor would give an
additional $25,000 for scholarships.
To accomplish this challenge, Cedarville held its first 24-hour
social media giving challenge. Faculty, staff, alumni, and
current students took to Facebook, Twitter, email, and
the phone to ask family and friends to participate. By
the end of the day, the goal for the giving amount,
and our goal of 515 alumni donors, was blown out of the water!
Our alumni and friends stepped up in a big way: Nearly
700
donors
participated, raising a total of
$128,376.03
! Of the 700 who gave, 72
percent were alumni. Thank you for making this a huge success for
Cedarville University and for being an encouragement to the entire campus.

As the months and years passed after graduation, it
took being back on campus recently to remind me what
a treasure Cedarville is to me. I was thrilled to be at a
place financially where I could be a part of the 5/15
challenge to help bless this institution that had become a
precious home to me.
