This past Tuesday and Wednesday, we celebrated the All In giving campaign for The Drake Fund. I am very pleased to share that the campaign was a resounding success.

We had 136 faculty and staff contributed to the campaign, a jump of more than 95 from last year. Thank you for the enthusiasm and support you all showed to our University.  And, thank you for your generosity of spirit and dedication to making Drake the best institution it can be. While the final numbers are still coming in, in total, more than 394 alumni, faculty, staff, students, and friends gave over $100,000 in just 24 hours.

I’d also like to extend my gratitude to staff in the Office of Alumni & Development and University Communications who put their time and energy into making the campaign a success. Thank you also to those faculty and staff across campus who participated in the video challenge to help drive engagement.

Sincerely,

Marty
