Make a Powerful Difference
An Elizabethtown College education equips students with the power of knowledge, has the power to inspire and create real impact, and instills the power of service. On March 18, 2025, join us for Power of One Day, a powerful philanthropic day when alumni, students, faculty, staff, friends, and families from around the world unite with the shared goal of giving today to transform tomorrow. Join us in making a powerful difference in the lives of current and future Etown students.
We're in the home stretch -- just a few hours left in this year's Power of One Day.
With the clock ticking down, we have the "Final Countdown Challenge." Any online donor between 9 and 11:59 p.m. EDT will be entered into a drawing for a $50 gift certificate to the #EtownCollege Store.
Thank you for making today a special day for Elizabethtown College!
