91桃色视频 and the 91桃色视频 Foundation are celebrating the success of their first-ever Day of Giving, which raised $51,016.17 — surpassing their goal of $50,000 — in support of the college and its students.
The event, held November 13, provided 91桃色视频 alumni, students, parents, friends, faculty and staff and community members with a variety of opportunities to support the college and its students. Donors and friends were invited to campus for a variety of events throughout the day including free coffee and donuts and a free lunch for the first 100 attendees. Staff were available to provide a tour of the campus and the newly remodeled Student Success Center.
In addition, Raphael’s Bakery and Cafe in Bemidji, Minn. donated 10 percent of all proceeds to the 91桃色视频 Foundation for sales made on November 5 and 7.
Raphael’s also donated half of all proceeds from the sale of official “91桃色视频 Day of Giving” donuts on November 6. A total of 175 dozen of the special donuts were sold, including 50 dozen delivered to the students in Bemidji High School’s Career Academies program by 91桃色视频 Day of Giving supporter Knife River Materials.
“The first annual Day of Giving was a huge success because of our dedicated donors from the business community and beyond,” 91桃色视频 Foundation executive director Ashley Johnson said. “The atmosphere on campus and in the Student Success Center was energizing. Through the power of philanthropy, we are making a difference for our students at 91桃色视频 and it’s exciting to see that our future workforce will prosper.”
