NC State Day of Giving
Thank you for your participation on this year’s Day of Giving. With your help, the Park Scholarships program received 703 gifts, surpassing our highest year ever (and completing the challenge set by the Regional Selection Committee leaders to receive over 650 gifts). We also received at least five gifts from each Park Scholarships cohort, successfully completing the challenge set by Wade Colburn ’14.
Check back soon for additional details about this year’s Day of Giving.
NC State Day of Giving is an annual, university-wide fundraising event. For 24 hours, the Wolfpack community comes together to support our students and demonstrate the strength of the Pack. Funds raised create sustaining scholarships, invest in inclusion efforts, and promote diversity and enrichment.
The Park Scholarships program has led the pack on each Day of Giving, raising critical funds for scholarships, diversity and inclusion work, and enrichment. We invite the Park community to join us once again in #GivingPack to Park Scholarships in 2024.
Whether you are making a gift or participating in challenges, there are many opportunities to get involved and support Park Scholars now and for years to come. If you have questions about supporting Park Scholarships, contact Mary Kornegay at mgkorneg@ncsu.edu.
