Today is National Philanthropy Day
Submitter:
Betsey Norgard, Director of Publications, Public Relations and Communication
Message:
November 15 is set aside as a day of celebration to reflect on the meaning of giving and what it makes possible for the enrichment of our world.
Since 1869, the Augsburg community has benefited from the generosity of those who preceded them. Now, it's the gifts of current alumni, faculty, staff, and friends that continue this legacy for coming generations of Augsburg students.
Whom would you honor with gratitude for what they do or have done to make Augsburg great today? Each gift--no matter how great or small-benefits Augsburg and makes a difference toward our goal. Today is a great day to take that step.
