About

FINAL DAY!

Make a gift of any amount now, share on social media, tag your friends and ask them to join you!  Giving is easy and secure and your gift has never been so important!

  • Every donation supports our current and future students’ scholarships and financial aid to ensure an invaluable college experience. 
  • Giving to Drury is so important to President Tim Cloyd, that he has created a matching gift and will personally donate $5 for every donor during the campaign, until the matching funds run out.
  • We need our Drury family to help meet a $50,000 challenge gift from Ron and Cathy Neville '69/'71! We need 1,062 donors by May 31!

Questions about the campaign or the fund that this will benefit? Do you want your gift to benefit a specific area? Would you like to know how to become more involved? Contact Melanie Earl-Replogle at mearl@drury.edu.

During The Power of One - 531 Challenge we are adding all donors and adding donations to The Annual Drury Experience Fund to this campaign total; join us! Remember, all gifts to the campaign add to your cumulative annual giving total and will be recognized in Drury's Honor Roll of Donors.

Thank you!

Thank you to everyone that made a gift and shared the campaign. This year has been the largest 531 Challenge since it began five years ago. The support has been amazing, especially during the final day.

We aren't done counting yet! Please stay tuned as we await the last few days of mail and we will update you soon with the final totals for the Power of One - 531 Challenge.  We hope to have some very exciting news for you!

Final Day - Update

Thank you so much to all of the donors and advocates for the campaign.  We are getting very close to the 1,062 donor goal and you have made that possible.


As we enter the final day, we would ask you to share the campaign again and ask others to join you.  If everyone that has donated so far can find at least one new person to make a gift today, we will reach the goal and meet the $50,000 challenge! 


Dr. Don Deeds '69 has also recorded a special message for our final day. Please visit the campaign to see his video.


Again, thank you for your support of Drury University!

Thank You! Our goal is within reach, but we need your help!

We have over 700 donors and tomorrow is our last day to reach 1,062 donors!  Thank you so much for your support as a donor and advocate!  You are making a difference!  

There are incentives for helping as an advocate, including VIP seating and parking at the Mother of All Fireworks at the Martin Alumni Center on August 20, 2018. 

Please help spread the word by sharing on social media and sending emails to friends asking them to make a gift! Their gift has never been so important with President Cloyd matching gifts and the $50,000 challenge from Ron and Cathy Neville '69/'71. 

If you have questions, please contact Melanie Earl at mearl@drury.edu.

THANK YOU!

Thank you! We are over halfway to the donor goal!

Thank you to all the donors and volunteer advocates!  You have made a great impact and we are over halfway to the donor goal! 

Our goal is still within reach, but we need your help to reach out to more alumni and friends and ask them to join us! They can make a gift of any amount! Please send emails, texts and share/tag friends on Facebook. If you have any questions, contact Melanie Earl at mearl@drury.edu.

We would also like to say a special thank you to Chris Cobb '93 for his advocacy. He qualified for a Drury portfolio and Drury Trustee tie for encouraging others to give!  

Again, thank you so much for your support of Drury University!

Watch President Tim Cloyd's Challenge Video!

Thank you so much to all our donors and advocates so far! See how your gift will help meet President Tim Cloyd's matching challenge and watch this video!  He's giving $5 per donor until the matching funds run out - and then he's agreed to sing a Beatles song with friends and post the video here! Thank you to President Cloyd for his generous commitment!  You can continue to have an impact and get closer to meeting this matching challenge by sharing on social media and sending to your friends! Contact me if you have any questions on how to get involved at melanieearl@drury.edu. Thank you again! You are making a difference at Drury University.
