俄勒冈州澳门葡京博彩软件俱乐部

当澳门葡京博彩软件们为了一项重要的事业走到一起, 他们的影响是巨大的,95岁的凯尔西·克利夫兰说, 俄勒冈州澳门葡京博彩软件俱乐部的前联合主席, one of many Smith 俱乐部 around the world that raise money to support scholarship aid. “自从我们俱乐部在1951年设立了捐赠奖学基金, Smithies in Oregon proudly come together to support the college and a Smith student from Oregon every year.”

The Smith Club of Oregon donates all dues that are contributed beyond their club’s operating costs—and “we keep our operating costs as low as possible to maximize our club’s annual donation,” 说s Kelsey—while other Smith 俱乐部 have found ways to raise funds for students while having fun connecting across class years.

仅在过去的10年里，各俱乐部就捐赠了近1美元.5 million for financial aid by doing everything from selling pecans and toffee to making desk calendars and tote bags. 随着学院的成立，这些努力尤其受到欢迎 倾听每一个声音, 一项筹集7500万美元奖学金的倡议, providing access to a world-class education for every talented and qualified Smithie who seeks it. 

Here are four clever ways Smith 俱乐部 are helping the best and brightest students attend Smith, 同时在格莱姆考特大门之外维持一个强大的社区. “参与，社区和澳门葡京博彩软件的联系. 没有比这更好的了!02岁的瓦妮莎·盖茨-埃尔斯顿说 of the 澳门葡京博彩软件 Club of New York City.

“I support Smith because I want future generations to know I believe in them; I want them to thrive and be true to who they are meant to be and carry the Smith torch in the world. 没有一个澳门葡京博彩软件是相似的，但我们都充满激情, 才华横溢的, 固执己见的, 勇敢的, 种类, 强大创新,02岁的瓦妮莎·盖茨-埃尔斯顿说, 2019年福利荣誉主席.

凡妮莎关于组织慈善活动的建议:

• Contact potential keynote speakers six to 24 months in advance to reserve a spot on their busy calendars. And consider reaching out to notable alumnae who don’t live in your area—they may travel in for the event.
• 提前6到12个月预定场地.
• 利用你所掌握的所有校友资源. 这可能意味着使用校友之家作为地点, providing food or favors from alumnae-owned business or having a group of alums underwrite the cost of the event so maximum proceeds go to Smith students.
