Maroon faculty and staff bring Noke500 across the finish line
December 11, 2015
We did it! The Maroon community met and surpassed the Noke500 goal, and Roanoke College's amazing faculty and staff truly helped to make this special alumni giving challenge a success all the way to the finish.
Many faculty and staff members also provided videos and photos, shared social posts, sent personal messages to alumni, helped to rally support from various groups, and gave during the race. Alumni loved the opportunity to see and hear from so many of their professors, in particular, and the grand success of the Race is largely due to the participation and help of all of Roanoke's dedicated faculty and staff.
Challenge Issued: 500 alumni gifts in 48 hours for a $25,000 gift from Sandy and Vanessa Raby Mulheren '02.
Challenge Met: 500 alumni gifts received in 45 hours!
