Philanthropy

Kristy and Bill Woolfolk of Hinsdale, Ill., have made a $100,000 gift to help make global engagement possible for students with financial need in the Martha and Spencer Love School of Business.

The sixth annual gratitude event, held April 5, celebrated the impact of philanthropy on Elon’s campus.

The third annual #ElonDay celebration raised $955,099 from 3,749 gifts, making it the single greatest day of giving in Elon’s history.

The new Richard W. Sankey Hall, to be located just south of Colonnades Dining Hall, will provide classrooms and learning facilities for students in all academic majors. 

Elon parents Geoff and Dottie Jenkins P’09 P’15 are making a difference at Elon through planned gifts.

A celebration on March 10, 2015, in honor of Elon’s birthday raised more than $702,000 to support students, scholarships, athletics, and faculty and staff.

The March 11 event connected the recipients of endowed scholarships with donors for an evening of fellowship in McKinnon Hall.

The day will include a Global College Coffee and opportunities for the Elon community to show they believe in the university by making a gift.

Elon parents Dwight and Martha Schar have made the largest single gift in Elon University history, pledging $12 million to name two new buildings planned for the Elon campus.

Gifts totaling more than $1.3 million from two estates will provide new scholarship support for students with disabilities and for those pursuing studies in music.
