18 hours to make your impact.
Color It Purple is your chance to show your purple pride. On Tuesday, March 27, from 6 a.m. to 11:59 p.m., alumni, parents, and friends will come together to raise $175,000 to support the student experience and the college through the Cornell Annual Fund.
The Cornell Annual Fund provides access to a quality liberal arts education through scholarships to deserving students, supports life-changing experiential learning opportunities on and off campus, and maintains our historic campus community on the Hilltop.
Throughout the day, we will have a variety of challenges and match opportunities to help you make your impact. Your gift makes a transformative liberal arts education possible.
YOU made it happen. Thank you to all #coloritpurple donors for making a difference for Cornell students.
Your generosity exceeded expectations for dollars and donors! Photos of The Rock with names painted on it will be shared later this week.
Thank you.
We are almost there. 18 hours goes by fast, but we aren't done yet.
We are 89% toward our goal of 750 donors and unlocking a $15,000 challenge gift.
We are 86% toward our goal of $175,000 to the Cornell Annual Fund.
You have helped get us this far. Thank you.
Please keep encouraging your classmates, your friends, your former roommates to make an impact on Cornellians of today.
11:59 p.m. Central time is coming up fast. Let's come together and Color It Purple.
We are 2/3 of the way through Color It Purple and YOU are making a big difference for Cornell students with each gift--THANK YOU!
You have helped us unlock a $15,000 Lunch Rush Challenge, a $5,000 donor count challenge, and a $3,000 Cornell Scholars faculty/staff challenge this afternoon. That's amazing.
Color It Purple isn't over yet. As you can see from the Kiosk photo above, we still have a bit to go to fully color the Kiosk pillars purple. Please keep communicating with fellow alumni, faculty, staff, parents, and friends. Each donor will continue to have their name painted on The Rock.
The Happy Hour Challenge runs through 7 p.m. Central Time and all donations are matched 2 to 1 up to a total of $25,000. When we reach the 750 donor mark, a $15,000 challenge will unlock too.
Together, we can achieve the goal of $175,000 from 750 donors in 18 hours.
