GOAL UPDATE!

Sweet Briar College on track to break all records for
March Days of Giving

Sweet Briar’s alumnae and friends have done it again! From March 1 through March 9, donors contributed $1,128,240 through 956 gifts—and counting. The College fulfilled its first goal to raise $500,000 on March 1 with contributions totaling $567,166 and completed its second goal one day before the deadline with $561,074 contributed on the afternoon of March 9.

An anonymous alumna and her family catalyzed contributions toward the second goal, offering to match donations toward the second goal, dollar for dollar up to $500,000.

The third goal for the 2018 March Days of Giving, to receive gifts from 2,000 donors, is well underway and has a deadline of March 31.

All gifts postmarked by March 10 or made online by midnight on March 10, 2018, will still be counted toward the total challenge, so both totals will increase through the week of March 12-16.

“I continue to be impressed by the energy and enthusiasm of our alumnae,” said President Meredith Woo. “Their commitment to and love for Sweet Briar is truly inspirational.”

Vice President for Alumnae Relations and Development Mary Pope M. Hutson ’83 expressed her gratitude to the entire Sweet Briar family for their support. “These contributions are not just about meeting a goal. They show that our alumnae, students, faculty, staff and friends will meet any challenge put in front of us. This can only be a sign of monumental things to come in Sweet Briar’s future.”

Gifts toward the challenge will still be accepted through midnight on March 10 and can be made online at sbc.edu/give.

From your team in the Alumnae Relations and Development Office, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You make all the difference to Sweet Briar.

HOLLA! HOLLA! Everyone! We have some new students in the area, so I am extending this opportunity for another get together soon! Please suggest a place centrally, if you would like and I will assist with coordination! And if you know of anyone that is not on our page here, please invite!
Suggested dates to meet are July 17th-August 14th, so the sooner, the better!
Also, pm me if you'd like or email at [email protected]

Is anyone available to CELEBRATE the over deliverance this month? Let me know where/when you all would like to meet!

We had a spectacular time on Sunday! Thank you all for coming out and thank you to Maggy for helping organize! Any ideas for September?

OK Tampa/Central Florida Students/Parents/Alumnae & Friends! Time to step up! We have achieved the first phase of the settlement agreement! Yes, we need more pledge money, but what we really need to make all this work are the STUDENTS!

First phase is contacting all those that would like to come back to Sweet Briar College! Many of the teach-outs have agreed to refund the deposits to allow this to happen!

We must get together and meet soon--so if someone on our page could please help with this, I would really appreciate it. We have a lot of ammo (alumnae) in the Tampa Bay area--many are not on Facebook, so we might have to enlist our campaign through the mail and phone calls.

The second phase is to recruit any and all friends that might have an interest in such a college as beautiful Sweet Briar. I will petition our alumnae association for their marketing materials.

Please comment on here how you are able to assist. I will be part of the admissions task force, so if you know of any student or potential student that might need direction or questions answered, please contact me!
