MidAmerica Nazarene University is in the final stages on the campaign to raise support for the Copeland Athletic Complex. We have until July 12 complete our fundraising efforts and secure a $2-million challenge grant from the Mabee Foundation.
The athletic complex will provide new multi-purpose venues designed for Pioneer Football and Pioneer Track & Field (but other teams will benefit, as will the Olathe community). The project will also renovate locker room spaces that will enhance the student-athlete experience at MNU.
We're going to need to everyone's help on this final stretch of the campaign. That includes anyone who has ever donned a Pioneer uniform and anyone who has ever cheered them on -- all of us, being all-in for MNU.
We have a special gift from a generous donor that will match every gift, dollar-for dollar, up to $400,000. So your gift will automatically double -- thanks to this great fan of Michael Copeland and MNU Athletics! You can also make a multi-year pledge here, and it will count toward the match.
With God's help and your support, we can do this. Go Pioneers!
We are so close to our fundraising goal of $400,000 for the Copeland Athletic Complex: We have $1,715 remaining to hit the goal for the All-In Campaign. We have until 11:59 PM tonight to reach it. Let's go ahead and just finish it off right now!
1069 days ago by Pete BrumbaughThank you, Pioneer Family, for your generosity over the past several weeks! As we zero in on the final hours of the All-In Campaign today, we are marveling at everything that you have accomplished together.
First, we had an amazing donor step up and offer to match $200,000 worth of gifts and pledges, because they wanted to make it easier for athletic alums, coaches, and fans to double the impact of their support. That initial gift essentially got us halfway to our $400,000 goal.
You followed suit. At first, gifts and pledges trickled in. Then they poured in -- especially over the past two weeks. In the past 48 hours alone, the Pioneer Family has contributed nearly $50,000 toward the All-In Campaign.
We are now less than $15,000 from our fundraising goal -- or, 96% of the way to the finish line.
Consider this our two-minute drill: Everyone has to be playmakers between now and 11:59 PM tonight. Every gift is matched. Like former Pioneer Football Coach Mike Redwine says, "It's like every touchdown doubles and every two-point conversion is worth four points."
Please share how close we are to finishing off the All-In Campaign with your family, friends, and teammates. It will make all the difference today!
Go Pioneers!
Over the past 24 hours, athletic alums, coaches, and fans have said they're "all in" for MNU and have contributed more than $25,000 to the All-In Campaign -- pushing us over the 90% mark with less than 36 hours to go.
We have less than $40,000 to go to hit our fundraising goal of $400,000. Remember: every dollar is matched by a generous donor, so we essentially need to raise only $20,000 between now and 11:59 PM on Wednesday, July 12. That means 20 alums giving $1,000 each or 100 alums giving an average of $200. Lots of ways to the goal!
Share our campaign on social media. Tag your friends, family, and former teammates. We need everyone to join in giving sacrificially.
Let's go, Pioneers!
Over the past week, the Pioneer Family has committed $78,500 -- all of which was matched, unlocking a total of $157,000 -- and the All-In Campaign surpassed the $300,000 threshold!
We are moving swiftly toward our $400,000 goal with less than two weeks. We still need every Pioneer to join us in prayer and encourage everyone to consider a generous (even sacrificial) gift or pledge.
The clock is ticking. Let's go all-in, Pioneers!
With a multi-year pledge from our friend Merrill (thanks!), we crossed over the $100,000 milestone just 24 hours after launching the All-In Campaign to support the Copeland Athletic Complex.
If a multi-year pledge is more convenient for you to make than a one-time gift (and allows you to make a bigger splash, in terms of the matching gift), please feel free to fill out our pledge form here or call the University Advancement Office at MNU at 913-971-3600.
We are over a fourth of the way to the fundraising goal for this crowdfunding campaign. Let's go forward with God's help and crush it!
