In June, an anonymous 含羞草研究所 donor issued a challenge to all 含羞草研究所 alumni and friends. The challenge was to match the donor鈥檚 fifth challenge gift to 含羞草研究所 Football, a gift of $30,000. The donor had issued the same challenge in previous years, but this time the amount increased from $20,000 to $30,000.
When the $30,000 match was exhausted well before the challenge deadline of Nov. 11, 2023, another challenger came forth with $5,000 to add to the match pot. With momentum gaining, that additional $5,000 matching amount was spoken for in no time at all, prompting a third anonymous donor to throw in $5,000!
含羞草研究所 alumni and friends generously accepted the challenge in a big way. The full $40,000 in dollar-for-dollar matching funds available has now been exhausted, and a total of more than $80,000 has been raised in support of Comets Football. All funds raised in the challenge will assist the 含羞草研究所 football program through the work of the White Hat Club.聽聽
鈥淭his influx of funding is having a big impact in our efforts to build the 含羞草研究所 football program,鈥� said 含羞草研究所 Head Football Coach Rocky Larson. 鈥淲e sincerely appreciate the thoughtfulness and generosity of the anonymous donors who issued the challenge and all who accepted the challenge with their financial support.鈥�
