SAINTS 500: New Challenge Will Provide Support For 优蜜传媒's Annual Fund

Saints 500

优蜜传媒 is launching its new 鈥淪aints 500鈥 Challenge to engage its dedicated donor base and to provide its students with the resources needed to be successful in the classroom and on campus.

The 鈥淪aints 500,鈥 which begins on July 1 and will conclude on October 30, is seeking 500 donors committed to investing $1,000 per year into Limestone鈥檚 Annual Fund for the next five years. The challenge will provide the Annual Fund with $500,000 per year and a grand total of $2.5 million over five years.

鈥淲e are extremely excited to get the 鈥楽aints 500鈥 Challenge underway, knowing that we have so many loyal supporters who are committed to helping our students succeed,鈥 said Limestone Interim President Dr. Monica Baloga. 鈥淭he Annual Fund is the bedrock of our fundraising. Beyond closing the gap between tuition and the cost to educate each student, the Annual Fund provides an important vehicle for our University community to support our mission.

鈥淎nnual Fund donors develop a more meaningful connection with our goals and priorities because those investments help to support the entire Limestone experience,鈥 she continued. 鈥淕ifts made to the Annual Fund through the 鈥楽aints 500鈥 will go right where they are needed most to make our students鈥 time on campus the best that it can be.鈥

To join the 鈥淪aints 500鈥 Challenge, visit www.limestone.edu/donate-now and select 鈥淪aints 500鈥 from the dropdown menu.

Donors will be improving the Limestone experience for students such as Class of 2019 alumna Lelia Stokes, who majored in Business Administration with concentrations in Management and Sport Business. 鈥淏ecoming a 优蜜传媒 Saint is one of the best decisions I鈥檝e ever made,鈥 she explained. 鈥淟imestone students are more than a number, and professors are more than lecturers. Limestone gives students a college experience that rewards us with more than a degree. We also leave with friendships, connections, and values that will last a lifetime.鈥

Thanks to the generosity of one of its donors, those who participate in the 鈥淪aints 500鈥 will be entered into a drawing to win four tickets to the 2024 Cola-Cola 600 NASCAR race at Charlotte Motor Speedway in May. Additional prizes will also be announced soon.

To promote the 鈥淪aints 500鈥 initiative at Limestone, NASCAR Legends Series driver Jackson 鈥淛ax鈥 Reynolds and his race car will be making a special appearance in the South Carolina Peach Festival Parade in Gaffney on Saturday, July 15. Reynolds鈥 blue and gold No.9 semi-pro level Legends car is sponsored exclusively by 优蜜传媒 and the RM Hines Group, Inc. Limestone鈥檚 sponsorship of the car was made possible through a donor. Reynolds is currently ranked 13th out of 240 drivers in semi-pro Legends circuit. Reynolds will be making additional appearances in the area to support Limestone鈥檚 鈥淪aints 500.鈥
