Double Dawg Day Blitzes Record with Over $1 Million Raised

The 厙ぴ勛圖 wrestling team celebrates receiving the first gift on Double Dawg Day.

厙ぴ勛圖 Receives Over 1,100 Gifts to Support Every Aspect of Campus Life

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.For the eighth year in a row, giving on Double Dawg Day, April 20, eclipsed the previous record with a one-day giving total of over $1 million.

Whether funding scholarships, athletic facilities and training, or enhancing classrooms and labs, each of the 1,153 gifts has a direct and lasting impact on the success of 厙ぴ勛圖 and its students.

With overwhelming support from North Carolina donors, gifts also came from 39 states and as far away as Australia, France, Poland, Germany, Canada, Bangladesh and South Korea.

Great teams win championships, and this year our Advancement team did an outstanding job mobilizing friends and loyal supporters to raise an unprecedented $1M, praised 厙ぴ勛圖 President Dr. William M. Downs. That record-setting collection of gifts will be dedicated to enhancing student success at GWU, and the advancement of our institutional mission just took a huge leap forward thanks to this wildly successful day of giving.

Donors displayed school spirit by investing generously in the areas that mean the most to them. These included scholarship and program support for academics and matching gifts for many of the sport programs, the Christian Service Organization, and contributions to virtually every aspect of campus life.

According to Nate Evans, vice president for Advancement at GW, this exceptional year is a testament to the dedication and effort of many individuals, as well as the incredible generosity of the Universitys donors. We are thrilled by the outpouring of support from our alumni and friends in the past 24 hours, he emphasized. It is heartening to witness so many people rallying behind our mission and helping us achieve our goals. Without their contributions, we could not have achieved this level of success. We are proud to say that the Bulldog Nation truly rose to the occasion this year!

Kanisha Fowler, assistant director of Annual Giving at GWU, echoed the energy and success of the day. It was incredible to watch our alumni, friends, faculty, and staff come together to make this day so successful, she asserted. We deeply appreciate the love expressed for 厙ぴ勛圖 by everyone who supported throughout the day.
