That Was Fast!

Y'all answered the call and we've breezed past 700 donors! The anonymous donor's $10,000 challenge has been unlocked and has been added to the Spring Hill College Fund! 

Between our passionate donor base and inspired investors, we have been offered $15,000 if we can unlock $350,000! Can we do it? Absolutely! Badgers, let's keep getting the word out among our personal networks! 

I hope each of you have been enjoying the amazing content our SHC community has been sharing all day on personal social networks! From students, faculty, staff, alumni, friends, parents and everyone in-between, stories of donor impact and the passion you each have for The Hill has inspired so many of us. This is reflected in the donor count and total fundraising---THANK YOU!

Together, Let's Unlock 700 Donors!

We are so proud of our Spring Hill College family! We have surpassed our 7 year average donor count for Give Day! When we started back in 2016, 442 Badgers said "count me in!" Through the years, we have grown to expect, on average, around 602 donors for the campaign.


Our community is fully embracing the spirit of renovare' and we are humbled at the participation we have observed so far. We're not done yet! If you've already participated, please open your personal networks and encourage other SHC community members to show their #badgerpride by supporting Give Day 2023!

To help us reach 700 donors, we have had an anonymous donor offer a $10,000 gift to Where Spring Hill College's Need is Greatest----but it has to be unlocked!

Let's rise to the anonymous donors challenge by reaching 700 donors and secure the additional $10,000 for the SHC Fund! 

GO BADGERS! ๐Ÿฆก๐Ÿ’œ
