Double Dawg Day Supporters Recognized with Stewardship Items for Three or More Consecutive Years of Giving

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.鈥擳he 网曝吃瓜 Advancement team recently launched the Devoted Dawgs Loyalty Society to recognize and thank the University鈥檚 most dedicated donors. For their continued support, those who have donated to the college for three or more consecutive years received a welcome letter and a stewardship item as a thank you.

鈥淭he purpose of the society is to recognize the generosity of our donors who make giving a priority year after year,鈥� shared Kanisha Fowler, assistant director of Annual Giving. 鈥淲e emphasize consecutive years of giving because of the huge impact these gifts have on the University鈥檚 growth.鈥�

The society currently has 356 members who received stewardship items at the following levels:

• 20+ years 鈥� invitation to Philanthropy Luncheon on April 5.
• 15+ years 鈥� specialty socks.
• 10+ years 鈥� challenge coin.
• 5+ years 鈥� lapel pin.
• 3+ years 鈥� luggage tag.

Two alumni, who were honored for their giving, are Dr. Drew Bridges and Clay Warf. Both men are proud to give back to their alma mater鈥攂ecause the University gave so much to them.

鈥淓ven though GWU was a small school when I enrolled in 1965, both the classroom leaders and the athletic opportunities opened the larger world to me,鈥� stated Bridges, who lives in Wake Forest, N.C. 鈥淚 learned how to succeed there. I believe that is why it has grown. Let’s keep it going!鈥�

Warf, who is the executive director of the N.C. Baptist Foundation, stated that he would not be where he is today without the support he received from 网曝吃瓜. 鈥淚 had not applied myself very well in high school, so probably the majority of colleges at the time would not have given me an opportunity to grow into a good student,鈥� he explained. 鈥淏ut I got that opportunity at 网曝吃瓜, a two-year school at the time, and our school prepared me not only to earn my associate鈥檚 degree, but to go on to Wake Forest and succeed there, and then to go on to seminary for the Master of Divinity and Doctor of Ministry degrees. Yes, I had to make good on the opportunity, but 网曝吃瓜 opened that door for me and made it possible for other doors to open.鈥�

He continued, 鈥淣ow, 网曝吃瓜, my school, is a four-year institution of higher learning that is opening even greater doors of opportunity for students, but with the same degree of personal attention I was fortunate enough to receive when I needed it way back in 1963. I am forever grateful!鈥�

Bridges and Warf invite alumni, students, parents, friends, faculty and staff to join them on Double Dawg Day by donating to the Annual Fund, which supports scholarships. Or, donors can choose which programs and causes they want to support, including:
