The Banner
Inspired by the benevolent deeds of our noble Knights family, who have demonstrated themselves to be givers of the highest order.
KNIGHT FAMILY
Thank you for belonging to this most exclusive roundtable!
This online publication presents a golden opportunity to spotlight the many devoted supporters we remain so grateful to have in our midst. Although Dr. Linda Fedrizzi-Williams’ President’s Reception was nearly a full three months ago, we are still riding on an emotional high and a tidal wave of gratitude, fueled by the record-setting fundraising totals we tallied that night. The goal we had set was exceedingly ambitious, and to see that lofty objective surpassed in just a few brief hours—and in such a major way –remains heartwarming beyond words.
With “The Banner,” we hope to express yet another heartfelt “THANK YOU” for opening up your wallets, purses, and hearts to our students. We also pledge to continue to build more bridges to keep that momentum going. Your gifts are already having an immediate impact on our campus and in student lives. As we advance forward, we will show how your generosity is fueling our students’ growth and shaping the future of the local economy and the midstate’s magic.
With more than $421,000 raised through our President’s Reception, our goal of raising $10 million by 2025 is within reach. By enriching our triple-A’s—our Academics, Atmosphere and Athletics –Central Penn College will be an even richer source of opportunity for students who deserve it, and for area employers who are eager to hire skilled graduates!
As it is so often stated, the highest “thank you” is expressed, not in words, but in deeds. The “Banner” is part of our unrelenting mission to showcase good deeds and advance the public good through the lifelong power of education.
You have changed the course of student lives, many of whom are fighting their own private battles. To echo the words of Marcus Aurelius, “What we do now echoes in eternity.”
Like the colorful banners raised in battle, our “Banner” salutes the united force charging forward to give our students the wins they need to succeed in life.
