Atlanta chapters kicks off new 1891 campaign as part of its local scholarship fund for 2018-2019
As an effort to build awareness and raise significant funds for the Atlanta chapter’s local scholarship fund (to meet its $35,000 goal), the Atlanta chapter kicked off its 1891 ATL Campaign at the October chapter meeting.
Campaign Goals:
Increase the overall participation of metro Atlanta Aggies in giving to the chapter to over 1000
Develop a relevant contact list of Aggies in the Metro area (1,891)
We are using 1891 because of founding date and the $18.91 as base amount to increase the likelihood that “casual” givers will give (Our goal is based on reaching the 1,891 Aggies).
Aggies can mail bank check to PO Box 78532 – Atlanta, GA. 3035
Special thanks to our chapter’s new Fundraising Chairs, James Smith and James Thomas for taking on this initiative. We thank you all for your continued support.
AGGIE PRIDE.
