On October 13, Saint Joseph’s launched its new crowdfunding initiative and website, Be In That Number (a reference to the University’s fight song), to start off this fall’s fundraising campaign. The goal is to secure 1,000 donors supporting five different projects in need of funding on Hawk Hill between now and December 1.
“This year, we’re trying to come together as a community – students, faculty, staff, alumni – to support students currently on campus, and those who will be coming to campus in the future,” explains Michael Rath, director of the Saint Joseph’s Fund. “Every little bit counts, now more than ever.”
As an extra incentive, once the campaign reaches 1,000 donors, St. Joe’s alumnus and Board of Trustees Chairman Jim Norris ’85 and wife Dinae ’87 will make a gift of $50,000 to the University.
“It’s not about the amount of the gift; it’s about rallying 1,000 donors to this cause,” says Joseph Kender, vice president for University Relations. “The St. Joe’s community has always been generous and we know they will continue to be. And we thank the Norrises for their leadership and generosity.”
Each of the five projects has its own individual goals:
Donors are encouraged to show their support for the projects that matter most and gifts of any size have impact.
“The only way this will be successful is if we all come together,” says Rath. “There are a lot of good things happening on Hawk Hill, and we need to spread the positivity.”
