It has been a great year for Roanoke College! As we continue to move forward, a healthy Roanoke Fund is vital. Why should you support this annual fund-raising effort?
Your one gift can change everything. Regardless of the amount, your single gift immediately goes to work to benefit the College in a number of ways. The Roanoke Fund provides for the firsthand learning opportunities, the valuable personal connections, and the beautiful campus setting that are at the heart of Roanoke’s classic college experience.
In order to meet the growing needs on campus, we have a goal to raise $2.5 million before June 30, 2010. Your gift will also help us to reach our participation goals for alumni and parents. Participation is the most important measure of loyalty for foundations, corporations, prospective students and faculty and rankings such as US News & World Report.
If you have not yet participated, we ask you to continue to show your support for Roanoke. Please make your gift online at our secure web site: www.roanoke.edu/givetoroanoke. To receive a tax deduction for the current calendar year, the IRS requires that your gift be postmarked or submitted by December 31, 2009.
Thank you for all you do for Roanoke College.
