It
was
a
big
day
for
YJ4L
spirit
as
the
Baldwin
Wallace
community
came
together
to
raise
a
record-breaking
$230,744
for
this
year's
Big
Give.
The
annual
fundraising
event,
held
March
27,
marks
the
fifth
year
of
record-breaking
totals
-
with
this
year's
campaign
topping
last
year's
by
$19,643.
"The
2018
Big
Give
was
the
highest
in
dollar
amount
as
well
as
total
donors.
The
social
share
aspect
of
donors
asking
their
friends
and
family
to
join
them
in
contributing
to
Big
Give
was
instrumental
in
our
success.
A
total
of
1,020
donors
responded,
of
which
182
were
new
contributors,"
said
Patrick
Dunlavy,
BW
Vice
President
for
Philanthropy
&
Alumni
Engagement.
"The
generosity
of
BW
alumni,
trustees,
friends,
foundations,
faculty,
staff
and
current
students
coming
together
to
support
Baldwin
Wallace
reflects
the
strength
of
our
community
and
our
mission
to
prepare
students
for
personal
and
professional
excellence,"
he
noted.
"Thanks
to
everyone
who
participated,"
added
Dunlavy.
"Your
gift
will
benefit
current
and
future
generations
of
BW
students.
For
individuals
who
were
unable
to
donate
on
March
27,
it
isn't
too
late.
We
are
continuing
to
welcome
donor
gifts."
