Fund the Flame
May 8-9, 2024
Welcome to Fund the Flame, our annual day of giving! Help IGNITE GENEROSITY for 36 hours on May 8-9, 2024 as we support eight key areas around campus! Together, we can light a brighter tomorrow for current and future Colonels.
This year, we are excited to introduce new leaderboard challenges to Fund the Flame. Engage in friendly competition as Greek Life, Parents, and Reunion Class Years go head-to-head, vying for the top spot and showcasing their dedication to fueling Centre's flame of excellence.
Together, we will ignite generosity as we ensure a brighter future for all. Join us for Fund the Flame and make your mark on our legacy of generosity and impact.

As we reflect on a fantastic 36 hours, we'd like to send a heartfelt ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช to everyone who contributed during Fund the Flame 2024!
We know you're excited to see the total impact of your generosity.
We're still counting gifts, and we'll be able to announce final results and challenge winners next week!
