Elon alumni and parents who gathered for the March 9 New York City kickoff of Ever Elon: The Campaign for the Future of Our University were strong advocates for the historic fundraising effort. The goal of Ever Elon is to raise $100 million, with the majority of the funds targeted at building the university’s endowment. More than 250 people attended the kickoff event at The Plaza Hotel in Manhattan, and several agreed to speak out about Elon’s quality, its future and the importance of involving alumni, parents and friends in building the endowment.
