Updates
2 More Hours!

In the last hour, we've made big strides and are now just 158 donors away from hitting our 2,000 donor goal and unlocking $25,000 for the Flagler Fund.

Weโ€™re thrilled to share that the Business School Challenge has been completed, unlocking an additional $5,000 in support!

But weโ€™re not done yet—several other challenges are within reach:

This is our final stretch—encourage your classmates, friends, and family to give now. Every gift brings us closer to unlocking even more support for Flagler College. Letโ€™s finish strong!

Just 3 Hours Left!

We are so close to hitting our 2,000 donor goal—only 205 more donors to go to unlock $25,000 for the Flagler Fund. Of those, we need just 34 alumni donors to unlock the Alumni Challenge and secure another $10,000.

The Business School is only one donor away from unlocking $5,000. The Deaf Education Challenge needs just five more donors. The Music Hall Challenge is nine donors away from earning $5,000.

We are right on the edge of unlocking this funding—now is the time to reach out. Call, text, and tag your fellow Saints to help push us over the finish line.

A special shoutout to the Model UN Team for rallying 17 new donors at their event on the West Lawn. Way to go!

Letโ€™s make these final hours count. Every donor makes a difference.

Roar and Raise Final Hours!

Thank you, to the entire Flagler community, for your incredible support today! Weโ€™ve reached over 1,650 donors of our 2,000 donor goal, with over $1.25m raised so far!

More challenges have already been met, including the Parent Challenge, the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences Challenge, the Lacrosse Facility Match, and the Roar and Raise 1:1 Dollar Challenge which matched all dollars up to $350,000, among other exciting matches and challenges!

There are still more opportunities to unlock vital funding, including the Stellar Participation Challenge (350 more donors to unlock $25,000), the Alumni Challenge (80 alumni donors to unlock $10,000), the Business School only needs 5, and many others just a few donors away from completion.

With only 5 hours remaining, we need your help to meet these challenges and reach our goal of 2,000 donors. Please encourage your friends and family to join you in supporting this final push to make a lasting impact on Flagler College. Letโ€™s finish strong!
