“With overwhelming support and generosity, we were able to surpass our goal and raised over $270,000. Wonderful things are happening here, and it starts with the passion and support from our alumni and friends.

Thanks to another amazing show of support from alumni, faculty, staff, and friends, Alfred State College was able to raise over $270,000 on the eighth annual Day of Giving.
The funds raised benefit scholarships, new programs, updated technology, athletics, and so much more. Overall, more than 250 donors supported the cause.
“This year’s Day of Giving was centered around commemorating the 50th anniversary of a campus icon, The Hinkle Bell Tower,” commented Director of Development Jason Sciotti. “Dr. Mauro kicked the day with a message to the Pioneer community and challenged them to surpass our goal of $250 thousand. Students filled the Student Leadership Center throughout the day with our clubs and organizations providing activities, food, and entertainment. We ended the evening cheering on the women’s basketball team and giving away more prizes to the students. It is always awesome to interact with the students during this day to educate them on the power of philanthropy and how in some way each one of them have benefited from our donors.”

Alfred State College was assisted by several matching and major gift donors who helped to challenge the Pioneer community to make an even greater impact. A matching gift from a 1971 alum, mid-day helped to ignite afternoon and evening support.
Throughout the week, the Alfred State Institutional Advancement Office also collected nonperishable and personal care items to help replenish the on-campus food pantry located in The Community Needs Hub.
