An outpouring of generosity made Linfield University’s One Wild Day 2022 one for the record books.
On Wednesday, May 4, more than 500 donors rallied to raise more than $630,000 to support Linfield students through its annual giving day campaign. Alumni, parents, faculty, staff, students and friends of the university made donations to a wide variety of Linfield causes over the course of 24 hours. It was the most successful giving day campaign in Linfield’s history, said Joseph Hunter, vice president for university advancement.
“We are so very thankful to the entire Linfield community for the incredible generosity,” Hunter said. “Our focus is on the students, and our giving day efforts are all about raising the vital resources that ensure that they thrive.”
Gifts supported an array of student-centered efforts in the College of Arts and Sciences, School of Business, School of Nursing, Wildcat Food Pantry, Athletic Department and student well-being programs.
Gifts from Linfield’s Board of Trustees matched the first $250,000 in donations, which will support the Linfield Fund and other important initiatives. The Linfield Fund provides classroom technology and student scholarships as well as supplying resources for classrooms, labs and campus-life activities.
“Whether it’s support for the Wildcat Food Pantry, dollars for student well-being or funding for the Linfield Fund, all the investments make a huge and tangible impact in student lives,” Hunter said.
