Help Us Unlock $350,000 for Furman Students!
Dins Day, our cherished day of giving tradition, is celebrating 10 years! Join the alumni, parents, faculty, staff, and friends who are empowering our students to be agents of inspiration, leadership, and change in their communities.
Together, we’ll raise key resources for The Furman Advantage, Academics, Scholarships, Institutes, Athletics, and Wellness, Belonging and Community.
Challenge Alert: Mark ’85 P’26 and Monica P’26 Metz, Ken ’87 P’22 and Mary P’22 Clemens, and Rick ’74 P’04 and Ruth P’04 Wrenn are so inspired by the potential of our combined giving – and our exceptional students – they’re challenging our community to unlock $350,000 for student scholarships by reaching 2,024 donors on or before 11:59 p.m. EDT on Tuesday, April 23.
Your gift at any level is vital to our success as we strive to help fuel our students’ ambitions and drive Furman’s competitive excellence.
